On a Debian system, you can capture all system packages and settings
like so:
apt-get debconf-utils
debconf-get-selections > debian_config
dpkg --get-selections > packages
Import into second system like so:
debconf-set-selections < debian_config
dpkg --set-selections < packages
If you've made settings changes to text files not controlled by
debconf, you need to capture them manually and merge them manually.
This is easy if you're doing configuration management on your config
files. For example, if you use RCS, you can run "locate ,v" to
quickly locate every configuration file you've ever changed. If you
weren't using a CM system before, you'll have to locate your config
files manually. Be sure to use CM in the future.
