I am considering wiping my main system drive and reinstalling Tw clean but would like to have the same packages on the new system. I will backup home and replace the new home contents with the backedup data.
is this feasible?
how to save the currently installed pkgs for reinstall?
You can save a list - YaST->Software Managment->Extras->Export package list.
There's no such menu entry under YaST->Software Managment->Extras on my system? Leap 15.0
I see it under "File".
I do see YaST->Software Managment->File->Export yes, thanks. That saves the list as XML, which doesn't seem so helpful for the OP's purpose. The XML file is apparently intended for use with AutoYaST.
You can import it in the same place - I that'll work for Patrick too. Funny, I thought the QT and the ncurses interfaces were very much the same, and I see no 'File' entry in ncurses. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
