 # syssetup
 
-A tool to copy an existing setup and recreate it for use in say a reinstall
+The purpose of this is to copy the setup of a exiting system and package it up in a retorable format. There are several steps this takes for now at least. It also really needs to be run as root or with sudo. It creates a temp dir where /etc gets copied to. Then apt gets probed for a list of all installed packages. This is sufficient for the system level of things, not one's home directory. Its a pretty simple script and should work on any debian based system. It also has a nice little menu just to make it more user friendly.
