Hello,Frits:
I have a rather old PC running Etch just the way I want it.
Om my new PC I want to instal Lenny, and with the same set of
packages I have on Etch. Is there a trick to transport my
installed package list in a clever way?
get the source.list names for any special repos (mulitmedia comes to mind)
dpkg --get-selections >filename
transfer filename2 over.
modify /etc/apt/sources.list
dpkg --set-selections < filename2
apt-get -u upgrade-dselect
watch the magic happen.
It happened!
Thank you all.
