Dear list, at our Company we've set up a debian box (slink) to provide several services to the LAN. During a period of trial and error we ran dselect a couple of times installing and purging packages from the stable Debian archive.Now we plan to keep another machine with the same installations in the back in case of hardware failure.
For some reasons we declined copying directory trees or ,even more low-level, partition images. We'd like to provide the Debian install media (NFS, ftp, cdrom) somewhere and use dpkg or dselect to create an installation with the same packages as on the orig machine. (So that ,say, "dpkg --list" would produce the same output on the machines.) Is there a way to do this in an _automated_ (prefereably unattended) way ? Greetings, Markus Markus Stausberg InfoLytics AG Marktstrasse 8 50968 Koeln Germany Tel.:(+49) (0)221 3405846
