Hello Robert,

I see you already have the new system installed. Not very helpful for 
now, but for your next migration it might be easier if you first copy 
over passwd, group, shadow...  and then install the server packages (the 
ones that create users in the 101-999 range). This way you would be able 
to copy most (all?) data files over without worrying about UID mismatch.

Regards,
Andrei
