Keith, try this: apt-get install $(cat filename)

damm! didn't work, picks up the package names as apt-get operands rather than package names. still it's further than I ever got :o)

Here's one for the debian aficionados on the list, is it possible to use apt-get install with a list of packages fed in from a file?

e.g. something like;

apt-get install {filename}

or

apt-get install < {filename}
