CentOS - Sep 2006 - Upgrading from RH 9

Howdy.

I've got a RH 9 server that has a 60 gig hard drive in it.  I'm gonna 
replace it with a 100 gig and install CentOS 4.4.
Can I just copy the password files, home directories, config files, etc. 
or does it need to be done some other way?

Thanks

You can upgrade to centos 4.4 on the old drive or
do a clean install of centos 4.4 and the migrate all files
individually.
For example, migrate only the users from /etc/passwd, from UID 500, etc.

You will find out that many servers have posible new config options, but
no big changes.

You can also use: linux upgradeany
in the cdrom prompt
