Question Make a "Hand Built" installation a distro?


I built the Debian system on my laptop from a Net install CD and installed the packages that I wanted.

Now it has come time that I need to build a new desktop computer (CPU's locking up on me after 6 years) and I would like to be able to turn my laptop Debian system into a Distro that I can load on the Desktop.

Is there a program to turn my laptop OS install into a installable distro, or do I need to do this by hand?
