clone ubuntu installation

[Laura Conrad]

I have a new computer, and will be moving my desktop to it over the next
week or so.

I'd like to put a fresh ubuntu 9.04 installation on, but I don't want to
spend the next 2 months finding packages I need that aren't installed
yet.   What's the easiest way to take a fresh install and say, "Add all
that packages that are on that other machine and aren't yet here?"

A pro basketball player named Micheal (yes, that's the way he spells
it) Ray Richardson once famously said of the New York Knicks
franchise: “The ship be sinking.”

When a reporter asked him how far it could sink, Richardson reportedly
replied: “Sky's the limit.”
