hi everyone
since last month i'm using ubuntu 10.04 and i have installed lots of apps and packages i needed on my old 20GIG hard drive and i'm very happy with it but now i had to use this 20gig hard on other old PC and erase it and install all the stuff again on my 500 gig hard drive dual boot with win7 but i don't have enough Internet bandwidth to download all apps again and i want to use my current apps installed on my old hard drive
i tried cloning with Acronis true image but i didn't work then i tried pasting my old hard /var/cache/apt/archives to my new installation but it didn't work neither.
does anyone know how can i clone or use my already downloaded packages on my new installation?
thank all you guys in advance
