not sure, but I've done the dpkg --get-selections >selections and imported on another machine(running the same distribution) several times with complete success. I probably wouldn't try it with different distributions since chances are perhaps some packages have been changed..but if your going from stable -> testing on a new machine I'd rather go stable->stable then upgrade the new machine to testing *after* all the packages have been installed from stable. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
