You can do something like this: on the current machine: sudo dpkg --get-selections > server.selections then copy the server.selections file to your test machine and run: sudo apt-get update sudo dpkg --set-selections < server.selections sudo apt-get dselect-upgrde That will install all packages that are on your current server on your test server. hth, Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
