Hi,

I will buy a new computer, and I would like to install the same
packages that are installed on the old box. I found a command-line
tool called MPM, but the description is not too detailed.

So my question is: after getting the list on installed packages with
mpm, I can feed it into mpm on the new machine. If I am switching to
higher version of MikTex will this fetch the packages for the new
version?

Thanks in advance...

Gabor
