migrating my lenny install from 32-bit to 64-bit?
i've mentioned this before, but by the end of this week, i want to
move my entire current (fully-updated) lenny install from an old
32-bit system to a new 64-bit dell server, and i'm open to advice on
the easiest and most error-free way to do that.
i've already duplicated the software packages on the new server, so
what's left is to transfer over the remainder of the configuration --
mail server, web server, user accounts, etc. the whole ball of wax.
since both systems have webmin, someone suggested doing a webmin
backup on the old system, then just restoring it on the new one, which
makes a certain amount of sense as long as webmin can be trusted to
reproduce configuration info accurately.
i don't think this will be that difficult, but if there's a tool to
make this easier, i'm open to suggestions. thanks.
