Thank you, I think I got what I needed (at least for now). $ apt depends wget wget Depends: libc6 (>= 2.28) Depends: libgnutls30 (>= 3.7.0) Depends: libidn2-0 (>= 0.6) Depends: libnettle8 Depends: libpcre2-8-0 (>= 10.22) Depends: libpsl5 (>= 0.16.0) Depends: libuuid1 (>= 2.16) Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Conflicts: <wget-ssl> Recommends: ca-certificates $ $ apt depends wget 2>&1 | grep " Depends: " | awk '{ print $2}' libc6 libgnutls30 libidn2-0 libnettle8 libpcre2-8-0 libpsl5 libuuid1 zlib1g $ On 12/2/23, Greg Wooledge <g...@wooledge.org> wrote: > On Fri, Dec 01, 2023 at 10:01:54PM -0600, David Wright wrote: >> That requires you to be online, aka "exposed mode".

At times *being* and *keeping moving* is entirely fine, you don't have to be *happy* and I am not sure if I am living in the stone-age or the brave new world in which we are living these days. One thing is sure, I can't be naive about any of it. I do have the "same-release, same-architecture connected system" I just want to make as sure (among other things meaning -on a hardware level-), as I possibly could that, by simply rebooting a live DVD you can "switch" (as it were) from one to the other. As a simple matter of economy (I use almost exclusively amd64 based hardware), I am trying to streamline a way of: a) booting a live Deb Linux from a DVD (which, physically, you can't write onto) b) running a short script with an array of utility packages which are not part of §a's install base preferably from a pen drive or a subdirectory of a hard drive you could mount then you would: 1) boot up 2) (from the USB pen drive) run §b's dpkg-based script 3) install the extra stuff you need including Selenium-automation versions of firefox (gecko) and brave (chromium) ~ 4) go into "exposed mode": setup networking, macchanger (I know in my case it is silly, but I do it anyway), ... ... after going about the exposed-mode tests you need to and all etceteras you had to check out online ~ (n-2)) disconnect yourself from the internet (software + hardware by removing the wifi USB dongle or cable) ... (n-1)) optionally, run script to check which files were changed during your run and how n) shutdown Some of you have suggested using apt-clone and apt-move, but I think this is a simpler way to solve what you see as an XY problem and it doesn't really matter if you use a "different", "newer" version of Deb Linux. Most probably all of this is plain nonsense to all of you, but I have no other way to work. They are even using "AI" to mess with people they target and it doesn't matter if they know well (which they have actually told me) that you are not a criminally minded dude, a threat to society, ... and they are quite literally watching/monitoring you 24x7. lbrtchx
