You can try to create a CD/DVD with the contents of your apt-cache and
add this as a repository, deactivate all other repositories in the
system where do you want to install dapper from new (but with the chance
to recreate the packages that are installed in the other system). Do the
following commands:
$ mkdir -p ~/cache/binary
$ cp -fv /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb ~/cache/binary/
$ cd ~/cache
$ dpkg-scanpackages binary/ /dev/null | gzip -9c > Packages.gz

Now create a ISO file with your CD/DVD burning program with the contents
of the directory cache, and add them to the repositories of the 2º
computer using:
$ sudo apt-cdrom add

and install the packages, that's it. Some packages doesn't will be the
same only if your apt-cache has all the packages that you had installed
from the first time you had used apt-get in your first Dapper System
