Is it possible to download the installed software installers, and/or the Software Sources list? I'd like to make sure I have all that if some unfortunate event happened, and all I'd have to do is run them. Thanks. I'm still learning more and more about Ubuntu and it's really cool! :)

IF you downloaded them from the internet you can keep the .deb files for later installation.

IF you want to backup the sources list, just copy the file /etc/apt/sources.list like this:

cp /etc/apt/sources.list ~/sources.list.bak

cp -R /etc/apt/sources.list.d ~/sources.list.d
