As this is my 1st post of 2006, A Happy New Year everyone and I hope you enjoyed whatever solstice celebrations you had (if any) :o)
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}

cat filename | xargs sudo apt-get install
xargs sudo apt-get install < filename

Another way to do this is:
(on box 1)
dpkg --get-selections > foo
(copy foo to box 2 then on box 2)
dpkg --set-selections < foo
Then...
apt-get dist-upgrade (i /think/)
Thanks Adam

I'd go for apt-get dselect-upgrade (rather than dist-upgrade) ... :o) Cheers, Safe
