Moving data from one server to another

[Thomas Charron]

  If I'm reading the original poster correctly, he doesnt want to move the
entire installation to the new server.  He wants to upgrade the system to
use the new release of the OS, and somehow get a listing of files that have
been modified or changed since the original install, as he has no idea where
people placed scripts, what they do, where they're called from, etc..

  Look paul, I'm TOP posting!  :-)
