Separating out the .emacs issue, I think it would indeed be a good idea to have
the preferred-package list stored somewhere so that we can use it for new
installations.
There is the ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives directory. Would it be possible to copy
this to a new installation in order to tell package.el what to install?
To tell you the truth, I am quite unclear yet what package.el can do, not
having seen a manual for it. Does it exist somewhere?
Cheers,
Uday
