Hi,

I want to switch an installation from an IDE disk to a SATA disk. I use
synaptic to manage packages for me. The File menu has an option to
generate a package install script. So, I created a custom filter to show
just installed packages and selected that filter. (cool) Then I
selected all the packages for "reinstallation" (the only option). Then I
selected "generate package install script" from the File menu. The
script that was generated starts with
#! /bin/sh
wget
wget
wget
.
.
.
with one "wget" line for each package that I selected, but there is
nothing in the script file after the "wget". Am I doing something wrong,
or is there a bug?

Are you trying to create a script that will intall the same packages you
have installed? If so, The scripts that I made may interest you.


Yes. That is what I am trying to do. I did not see the script on your
website. Can you post the script to the list, or send me a link to it?

Thanks,

Mark
