Reinstalling a system from package list?

[Maxime Alarie]

Hello,

 

Im just  curious if there is a way to reinstall a system from  the
output of dpkg -list

 

Let's say I have a crash, I reinstall the base system and then want to
reinstall all the packages I had  before the crash... I, like many
others I'm sure,  usually Install a system then proceed to install other
packages  along the way to suit  my  needs. But we do not keep a trace
of those  small packages installed for this dependency or that small
program we want to try..

 

Thanks.
