Here is an easy way to build an exactly similar ubuntu installation on another computer. Run $ dpkg --get-selections >my_pakages on the machine that you want to clone. Install a clean copy of Ubuntu on the target machine. Copy the file my_packages to the target machine. Run the following command on the target machine. $ sudo dpkg --set-selections < ./package_names $ sudo apt-get -u dselect-upgrade Done.

  1. Thanks for the post. I was wondering how I can clone the packages, codec, libraries and software downloaded in one of the computers in our University's library. The above method really helped me out. Thanks.
