This does exist, at least in the SuSE distribution (http://www.suse.de)
which is being marketed and known as a 'new-user distribution'. You can
select packages and save your package selection in a file which can be saved
on floppy (or elsewhere) and reloaded at will. They provide you with about
20 pre-compiled selections for specific needs (desktop system, internet
server, graphics workstation, games, development system, etc.).
I'd LOVE to see something like this in Debian 2.1 ... something like "dpkg
--listpackages > packages.list" and "dpkg --installpackages < packages.list"
or whatever. But thats for the debian mailing list :)
