Was just reading Alice's post, and it struck me a safe way would be for
the o/p to do a clean install on a different machine, then do the rsync's
I mention.
Several gotchas: don't forget to copy the old /etc/ssh/ssh_host* to the
new /etc/ssh/, check the ifcfg-<NIC>, /etc/udev/rules.d/, and, if the new
system is different hardware, rebuild the initrd *before* you reboot. You
can also edit /boot/device/grub whatever the damn grub2 thing is, also
before reboot.
Or edit on the boot, get it up, and rerun grub2-install.
