Doug thanks,
this is a really handy hint, it gives me a list about the same size as
"history|grep 'apt-get install'" and roughly half of the same contents.
(It a very new install so almost all the new packages are still captured
there)
: )

List all orphaned libraries (that I
didn't --purge), and use dpkg to provide a
description of each one
-a List all
packages (not just libraries)
-n List the
lot, even if they are recommended
--no-show-section Only the
package name, thanks

In Gentoo I can easily see which packages I have deliberately
installed from the command line using 'emerge foobar' by looking in
the 'world' file - how do to I find the same information in Debian ?
To be clear I do not want see all the installed packages on my system
nor all the dependencies that I have caused be installed, just those
foobars for which I have explicitly issued an 'apt-get install
foobar' over and above a base system....
Cheers,
Chris.
