NP, being a relative newbie myself, I am glad I have come across something
on this list that I can actually answer! ;-)

Oh man, thanks for the warning. I wouldn't have been to happy finding this
nasty suprise like you did!

I am in the same boat. I was going to ghost the image over (which should
work without problems) but I decided to try it the way you are suggesting
and just copying over files as you have suggested, and as soon as I took
over the /etc/passwd file it came to a grinding halt and told me I did not
exist! The only way I could recover from this was to boot into rescue mode
and copy the original back. I am now resigned to setting it up from scratch
(as I am unsure of the integrity of some of the existing files) but if
someone else has any better ideas, please let me know!
Cheers,
Raoul

Subject: Moving to new machine...
I was wondering how hard it would be for a newbie to move a server setup
from one machine to another, on a new hard drive. I'm running on a 2 gig
hard drive but would like to upgrade the server and drive to something
bigger. I've got a few people using it for email and it's a small
web/application server. Essentially I'd like to set things up so I could
turn on the new box and everyone won't have to set up new passwords and the
like. Can I just copy over the mail spools and some things like
/etc/passwd?
Thanks...
