In synaptic, I can generate a package download script that will download all the packages to a new clean install of ubuntu. I was wondering if it was possible to generate the package download script with packages that were installed by the user (i.e. packages that are not included with the base ubuntu install)? |

hi, i can only think of the following: which stores all selected packages in installed-software.txt so if you have a new and clean install you could use diff to find the packages that the user installed. You can use this command to generate a nicer output: dpkg --get-selections | awk '!/deinstall|purge|hold/ {print $1}' > packages.list
