Is there anything to simplify the process of duplicating the set of installed packages when you didn't pay that much attention the first time around? It seems like taking the list from 'rpm -qa' on a running machine and feeding it to 'yum install ....' on a new minimal install should get pretty close, but then you need to find all of your locally modified config files. Most of that should be under /etc/sysconfig for an easy diff, but not everything. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
