I'd move the old hard drive to the new box and do an update install of the 
newer version. If you're moving to a larger hard drive on a new machine, 
you should probably install the old hard drive in the new box and alias in 
configuration and content-related directories as needed. It's a bit more 
work but lots less than trying to copy individual directories from one 
drive to the other.

Summary of IBM's 04/04/2006 reply in support of
its Motion to Limit SCO's Claims Relating to 
Allegedly Misused Material, with apologies to 
Monty Python:

IBM: It's not much of a case, is it?

SCO: Finest in the district!

IBM: Explain the logic underlying that conclusion.

SCO: It's so clean!

IBM: It's certainly uncontaminated by evidence.

A good way to deal with stage fright is to first
imagine yourself naked, then imagine yourself
laughing at your naked self and pointing.  Then
you yell to yourself dressed as a cop to "Arrest
that pervert!" before beating your naked body
with a truncheon. -- nu-monet v8.0
