[ILUG] New Linux Distro (Possibly.. ;)

[James.Chambers at irishlife.ie]

All you need is something similar to a tool for win98, can't remember the
name but it allows you to create a batch file of what you want installed. I
know you can save your package selection in a similar way with suse if you
want to install again using the same packages.

Regards

James
