I have two machines that I would like to have the second one installed with the same list of packages as the first.
I know I can find out what is installed by running
dpkg -l | grep ^ii | awk '{print $2}' > installed_list
But how can I use that list as a starting point to install the same packages onto another machine?
Is it:
dpkg --set-selections < installed_list
or something else?
Try this:
On the source machine: dpkg --get-selections | grep -e install -e hold | grep -v deinstall >
pkgs
On the destination machine: dpkg --set-selections < pkgs
After you've done this make sure to run 'apt-get dselect-upgrade' so the packages actually get installed.
Thank you. This did the trick!
