Just finished performing the operation, so I wanted to summarize for everyone. It appears to work great! The only things it missed were stuff that was installed outside the normal workflow, like Picasa.<br><br>0) since this is Ubuntu I'm talking about, I'm using my Ubuntu One account as the place to store the work file, so it'll be right there after the install:<br>
<br>cd ~/Ubuntu\ One<br><br>1) before doing the fresh install:<div class="im"><br>sudo dpkg --get-selections > installed-pkgs.txt<br></div><div><div> <br>2) perform the installation, and then:<div class="im"><br>cd ~/Ubuntu\ One<br>
sudo dpkg --set-selections < installed-pkgs.txt</div></div>
</div>sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade<br><br>3) go do something else for a while :-) (actually there were a few packages that required user input to finish)<br><br clear="all">Kendric Beachey<br>

I'm preparing to actually do this now...just to see what that grep catches I tried it reversed:<div><br></div><div><div>ak@mfj:~$ sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep -i kernel</div><div>kerneloops-daemon<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>install</div>
