Yup; 'dpkg --get-selections' gives you that list; I was going to write
up a bit on how to do that, but
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/clone-your-ubuntu-installation.html seems to
have covered that ground pretty well already. Be sure to read the
comments, as there's a bunch of extra useful information in there
(possibly some typos in the original).
