Question on setup machine after clean install?
This is the process I've been using.
rpm --qf "%{NAME}\n" -qa | sort | grep -v gpg-pubkey | grep -v kmod-V | grep
-v google-earth > installed_pkgs.txt
Copy all *.repo files from /etc/yum.repos.d
Copy files from /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/
After putting copied files on new machine run
dnf install `cat installed_pkgs.txt`
General have to minor issues.
msttcorefonts-2.5-1.noarch is no longer available, but have a copy, so
manually install it.
Other issue is with google-chrome seems it gpg isn't in the /etc/pki/rpm-gpg
directory?
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
sudo rpm --import linux_signing_key.pub
Any ways to improve this process?

Arguably: Start using ansible, or another configuration management tool
to install packages and make changes to the system. If you make a habit
of *only* making changes to the system using configuration management,
you'll save a lot of time when setting up new systems.

Thanks will have to look into that. This process is relatively fast, and gets the
additional 1000+ packages install in the single dnf update. In the past, I was
making rpm -qa list from both systems, and haven't to compare what was on
each list, and what was missing from either list.
Currently have about 20 classroom workstations, and about 30 other linux
machines.

This will cause you some issues as occasionally packages are renamed,
replaced, or retired. The better process would be to keep track of
packages as you install them over time. Or as someone else mentioned,
automate it.

Thanks, but I generally find there are about a thousand packages that are on
my systems above the standard install. The only package that wasn't found
in the process last time I did it was mstt font rpm, but all other ones were
found as be still included.
I have done both clean installs on machine, and fedup process. The clean
install results in lot of missing packages, whereas the fedup results in new
packages not being included.
Thanks again.

I run that command and the final output showed for duplicate names. I guess
that some packages have 32 bit counter parts.
How would you modify the command to transfer all the packages and their
architecture?

The -qa gives the full info, but then if you include that and that version is not
available it caused issues. Most of my systems are either all 32 or 64, so
haven't tought about that as an issue.
Just looking and this site seems to have info.
