Folks,
Now that I have installed and patched my distro then found and installed all of my favorite packages, what can I do so that I might make another system just like the one I just made -- maybe with slightly different hardware?
My thinking involves install the distro on each machine and complete the initial update cycle -- that sorts out the hardware differences for the most part. Now I want to grab my handy pile of preferred packages and auto-magically install all of them onto the raw distro.
I tried using Synaptic to "Generate Package Download Script". All I get is an empty file following the sh-bang line. There must be some way to do this.
