It may be possible to do a direct disk dump from one system to the other, bringing all your configuration and programs and files with it.
The disk sizes are different. dd is not an option (also there is raid, lvm, and encryption). I simply want to install onto system B, all of the same stuff that is on system A, without having to manually search, browse, select, and install each item individually from the Ubuntu Software Centre. All the software came from Ubuntu Software Centre.

Some was removed from the default Ubuntu installation, and lots were added, over a period of months. I did not keep a written journal of what was added or removed.

GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1)					  Ubuntu General Commands Manual				     GERMINATE-PKG-DIFF(1)

NAME
germinate-pkg-diff -- compare seeds against currently installed packages SYNOPSIS
germinate-pkg-diff [-l file] [-m {i|r|d}] [-a arch] [seeds] DESCRIPTION
germinate-pkg-diff compares the expansion of a list of seed packages against the set of packages installed on the current system. When con- structing seeds for a software distribution, it can be used to iteratively find packages installed on developers' systems that should be included in the seeds. A list of seeds against which to compare may be supplied as non-option arguments. Seeds from which they inherit will be added automatically. The default is 'desktop'. OPTIONS
-l, --list file Read the list of currently installed packages from file. The default is to read the output of dpkg --get-selections, and any supplied file should be in the same format. -m, --mode {i|r|d} Set the output mode as follows: i Show the dpkg selections needed to install just these seeds. List unseeded but installed files as ``deinstall'', and seeded but uninstalled files as ``install''. r List unseeded but installed files as ``install'', and seeded but uninstalled files as ``deinstall''. d Show the differences between the packages specified by the seeds and the list of installed packages, in a somewhat diff-like for- mat. -S, --seed-source source,... Fetch seeds from the specified sources. The default is http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/. -s, --seed-dist dist Fetch seeds for distribution dist. The default is ubuntu.precise. -d, --dist dist,... Operate on the specified distributions. The default is precise. Listing multiple distributions may be useful, for example, when exam- ining both a released distribution and its security updates. -a, --arch arch Operate on architecture arch. The default is i386. BUGS
--mode r is useless as dpkg --set-selections input. AUTHORS
