I should mention that the lengthy e-mail I sent earlier describing what I do 
will work fine over a network, if you have NFS set up on the "old" system and 
can boot your new system from floppies (that support NFS of course) or a boot 
CD or something.

You would need to use NFS or some other unix filesystem sharing so that UNIX 
file ownership & permissions are preserved in the network copy.  samba would 
NOT work for this.
