Well there's loads of ways you can do it. aptitude search "~i" will give you a list of your installed packages. This will probably be a lot though, and will take a long time to install them on the other computer. You can always see what's hanging out in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ folder though, and install those with dpkg. Maybe some of the more experienced people here can give you better tips than me though. - -- <o) Debian GNU/Linux - Free as in Freedom /\\ http://digital-haze.net/~pobega/ - My Debian site and blog _\_V Window Maker user, Debian enthusiast, Mutt lover -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGHnw2/o7Q/FCvPe0RAuXlAKCzW2DewMF4E4RraHQXptT/AChwUQCginFa RImTOhfjaidVF3h1TkTE02k= =Hlzx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
