I'll see if it makes sense to post a suggestion there. I found something where cgf says the big reason remembered installs aren't done are because it takes someone with the time and skills to do it (SHTDI). I found this which kinda does what I want. It is still more trouble than I want, but less than giving someone a list of n packages that I've found useful and expecting them to go through the list. Mike, that might be worth a try, though I don't know if it would still work. On considering the later link I realize that it might not be 100% as simple as just saving out a list, unless installing package X automatically and at that point did dependency resolution. I find discussions of this going back to 2002, but the search for the main mail list timed out on me. Anyway, I have to get back to work so I'll try to post to the main list after work.
