I *assumed* that apt-get had a -f option to designate a file to read 
package names from.... it does not.  So, a working equivalent to what 
I intended to have happen would be 
 sudo apt-get install `cat package-list.txt` 

That said, there were problems with the package list needing clean-up 
(found by doing sudo apt-get install --dry-run `cat package-list.txt`) 
 I just love dry-run options 

Meanwhile, a lot of packages were already in place on system B and it 
seems cleaner to do what (Dinesh and) Dan suggests. 

Thanks!
