I've not heard of anything, but this should be relatively simple to script.You can scp sources.list from a master machine to each client and remotely start an 'apt-get update' You can use 'dpkg --get-selections' on the master to generate a list of installed packages, copy that to the other systems, load it with 'dpkg --set-selections', and run 'dselect install' to install/deinstall packages to match the list from the master system. -- Stephen Patterson http://patter.mine.nu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
