I have a laptop running Ubuntu 10.04. I have a ton of installed packages -- some from synaptic, some from Software Center, some from downloaded *.deb files. I want to update to Ubuntu 11.04 by clean install.
After I spin the installer and run the initial update, what is the most effective way to make sure that my new install has all of my favorite packages?
I know that I can use --get-selections and --set-selections from dpkg. I'm worried that the package list from the older(10.04) release will confuse things when I apply them to the new (11.04) release.
Thanks in advance,
