Yes you can and I did it,too.

sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep 'install$' | awk '{print $1}' > list.txt

sudo aptitude reinstall -d $(cat list.txt)

The first will create a full list of all installed .debs.
The second will redownload it all (if needed) and store it in:
/var/cache/apt/archives/

This directory you can burn to cd or as me copy it over to a USB Mirco
drive.  :)

On target system just place the debs again in that directory and you?re
done.


bye Thilo
