How to automatically install packages that are used by another install?

[Pietro Bergamo]

Hi, there is this a tool called Booster that generates scripts for installing the packages you want.

Take a look at http://www.irajacic.com/

Worked fine for me.

Best regards,
Pietro

Xubuntu install + a little customization only. I installed Ubuntu
Quantal + Xfce and for that install Evolution does work, I also don't
get strange empty .goutputstream-* files at shutdown anymore. No trick
is needed to correct colors, since all colors are ok. I'll backup Ubuntu Quantal now and then set it up as an audio
workstation, by
$ dpkg --get-selections > debs_ubuntu_q.txt
and doing the same for my Ubuntu Studio install and then by installing
using some output from a diff or similar.
Any hints (better ideas) are welcome. I'll also use as much as possible
from /home/user. Regards,

Synaptic has an option to save your package state:  [File]>[Save markings as...] in the dialog, check [Save full state, not only changes] and save the file to some external media.  Boot into the other OS, open Synaptic, [File]>[Read markings] and you should be good to go.
