Box A: dpkg --get-selections > package-list.txt Box B: dpkg --set-selections < package-list.txt Start dselect and configure the [A]ccess method and [U]pdate, then skip straight to the [I]nstall. You will still have to answer all the configure questions from all the individual packages though. A solution to this is being worked on by a few developers I think. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
