    I'm curious if this is possible.. I have PostNuke (0.7.5.0) on a website that I own and I would like to copy the skeleton of the site (not the text information) and use it on another website but change the colors of course.

    Is this at all possible? :?: Or do I have to start from scratch each time?

    What do you want to copy? If all you want is the same modules/theme then download the filesystem. If you want the data, then download the database

    or do I just copy everything and do a backup then reinstall it on the other site and remove the database? Will that work? Or is there an easier way to do it?

    Just download all the files/directories with your FTP client, reupload and do a fresh install.
