Surely that should be

>dpkg --get-selections > /media/USB-STICK/somefilename.txt

and

>dpkg --set-selections < /media/USB-STICK/somefilename.txt

...where USB-STICK is the auto-mounted folder for said USB stick.

I would hate for someone to reformat their drive, only to find that the
file named USB-STICK is gone forever...
