Hi!
I was curious if there is any way to clone my system by simply writing into a file which packages are installed AND deinstalled on the source system.
The reason is that I configured a system which fits me just right (I installed some additional packages and removed some standard packages like OpenOffice...) and was wanting to back it up - even for a newer Ubuntu-Version.
Most of the changes are already gone in /var/log/dpkg.log... so this option does not exist...
Does anyone know where Synaptic stores the information which package is installed and which is not? It is possible to view those packages by applying a filter, so this information gotta be somewhere =)
Thanks for your help!
