Ok, many may have seen my post a few weeks ago about a server upgrade I
had going on. 

Well, the process continues. 

Current Machine = P3 RedHat 7.2  IDE drive system
New Machine = P3 (dual) No OS SCSI drive system (raid 5)

OK, so here is the plan, I don't know exactly what is going on here so
any help is welcome.
I have been able to make a backup of my Webserver.  I have also been
able to restore it to a temporary server for testing.  
I have run through the upgrade a few time of RH 7.2 to Fedora.  Well, it
seems to be a little messy.  The upgrade works just fine, but there are
all of these left-overs from RH7.2 which I am not really pleased with. 
What I was looking at is possibly installing CentOS 4 onto my new Dual
P3 box.  I was then planning on moving the Web information over from the
old box.  

My QUESTION IS THIS....  What do I need to move and what do I not need
to move to make this work.  the last upgrade we did, took the Webmaster
and I three days to reset all the usernames/passwords on all of the webs
we have hanging off our server.  
Can I move the Web directory and then say the frontpage folder?  Then
when I do my upgrade on the NEW server all the information should be
there for FP to allow those users to jump right in like nothing has
happened?

Anyone with an idea, I am getting needy here.  I know there will be some
other parts I have to reset, but I really need to get this box moved
over and off 7.2
