I have created a couple of DTS packages which are all scheduled and working fine.

I now want to upgrade my hardware and reinstall everything. How do I save my packages?

Use the save as file option when you save the package.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

nr, once you save the DTS package to a file, how do you 'reinstall' it on the upgraded box?

I have always just backed up (or detached) MSDB and restored (or attached) it to the new server ...

Use the Open package facility.

I always keep dts packages in sourcesafe and release them from there so don't have this problem.
