I want to save the list of packages that have installed. I figured it might be the best to list all and diff it with the default set.
Edit: Clarification: I don't want to get the list of installed packages that are installed at the moment. Rather I want to get the list of packages that I added since the default install.
either
sudo dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n
or
sudo sed -ne '/^Package: \(.*\)/{s//\1/;h;};/^Installed-Size: \(.*\)/{s//\1/;G;s/\n/ /;p;}' /var/lib/dpkg/status | sort -n
or
sudo dpkg --get-selections
will list all the packages.
Just re-route the output to a file. The 1st two lines will list it from smallest to largest with the size in front of the package name. The 3rd is in alphabetical order.
