I want to install arch on a second machine with identical packages as the first. The second machine has a wireless card which doesn't work without ndiswrapper. My thought was to connect the two machines with a network cable and access the packages from the first machine with nfs. Does anyone have ideas on the following: 1. How to make a list of installed packages on the first machine. 2. How to access the packages in /var/cache/pacman/pkg on the first machine from the second machine. 3. How to run pacman on the second machine to install the list of packages from step 1. TIA Chris
