Why not just copy /etc, /home, /root and /var, and make sure you do not follw symlinks in copying. That should do.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.
