On the machine you want to clone:
dpkg --get-selections > selections.txt
On the destination machine:
dpkg --set-selections < selections.txt
aptitude
Some rsync commands to follow:
debian:~# rsync -essh -rtpvz / root@192.168.0.141:/
ARGH! NOOOO. Does not work. Tries to do DUMB things like copy /proc and ./mnt
debian:~# rsync -essh -rtpvz /etc root@192.168.0.141:/etc
Doesn’t work for some reason… http://natalian.org/archives/2005/06/01/virtual-sarge-to-real-life-sarge/ http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2003/11/msg00118.html
