I want to be able to quickly get my installed packages back after the install.
Can I do this deal to quickly get my installed apps back:
Code:
sudo dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/package.selections
and
Code:
sudo dpkg --set-selections /home/package.selections && apt-get dselect-upgrade
on new system?
Or will that cause a lot of issues since I'm going from 32 bit to 64 bit? Also package.selections seems to list everything installed such as firefox-3.0, but if 8.10 has a later version of firefox, will this cause it to be overwritten with this earlier version?
Is there a way I can just get a list of packages I've installed since I installed 8.04? That way since there would be only 10 or 20, I could decide what to do with each one.
Please help. Thanks.
