moving a working fedora install from old to new hardware?

  what is the preferred way to migrate a working fedora install from
an aging box to a newer one?  an extra complication is that the old
server has a single root filesystem with everything in it, while the
new, super-fast box is a dual drive system that will be using LVM.  so
a simple byte-for-byte clone using "dd" isn't an option.

  so is there a fedora way to say, "make *this* box look just like
*that* box, but do it intelligently"?
