Feeding a list of pkgs to yum

Want to make one server like another? Here's at least the beginning of an answer. First you need to make a list of packages on the "template" machine (the one you want the other machine to look like).

rpm -qa | grep 'perl-' >pkg-list.txt

rpm -qa | grep 'php' >>pkg-list.txt

You get the idea. Then copy the list to the other server and run yum with this syntax:

yum install `cat pkg-list.txt`

Pretty neat, eh? (sorry, just practicing my Canadian English)
