I had a great how-to for this and now I can't find it or get a good search for it anywhere.

I'm upgrading from 10.10 to 12.10. Can someone tell me or point me to a good how-to on how to export a list of installed applications from synaptic, and then use that to automatically re-install the applications post-upgrade?

I need to redo my partitions so I'm wiping/formatting.

I only have this bookmark that saves the packages list with dpkg, not synaptic.
