Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way of copying
the debconf configuration for packages from
one machine to another?
I'm not sure if this is possible, seems like
it should be fairly simple but I haven't had
any luck. All the information is in
/var/cache/debconf/config.dat but copying
this across to a clean machine doesn't have
the effect I was hoping for (ie. saving me
from answering the questions again).

Any ideas?

Stephen.
