RE: transfer to new server

[Hugo Rabson <hugo rabson zetnet co uk>]

Install RH5.2 on the new hard drive.
Mount the old hard drive's partitions in /OLDROOT/...
Copy all files (except for /etc/lilo.conf, /boot/vmlinuz and /etc/fstab)
from /OLDROOT to /

Worked for me... but my system only has 2 users, so the situation was
clearly different...... Hope this helps anyway..
