Keith, try this: apt-get install $(cat filename)
damm! didn't work, picks up the package names as apt-get operands rather than package names.
still it's further than I ever got :o)
TADA It Worked! Just needed to take the newlines out and make the list one long string. :D

Here's one for the debian aficionados on the list, is
it possible to
use apt-get install with a list of packages fed in from a file?
e.g. something like;
apt-get install {filename}
or
apt-get install < {filename}
