You should be able to copy the world file over and it do pretty much the |
| 24 |
same thing. The biggest difference being maybe some change in hardware. |

If you want a list of what is installed, try this: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
equery list |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
That should list all packages installed but the majority of them are |
| 31 |
dependencies so you should not emerge them individually. Copying the |
| 32 |
world file I would think would be the best solution. |
