The principle is simple: take all the config files from <code>/root/repo/etc</code> and put them where they belong in <code>/etc</code>. However, since a new server might mean much newer software, it's possible that some config files aren't compatible anymore. Sadly figuring out these incompatibilities is a manual process and this guide cannot help you much. | The principle is simple: take all the config files from <code>/root/repo/etc</code> and put them where they belong in <code>/etc</code>. However, since a new server might mean much newer software, it's possible that some config files aren't compatible anymore, or that some new sensible defaults might be overwritten by the old config.

There's one special thing to remember, which is that after copying in the new <code>/etc/aliases</code> file, you have to run the <code>newaliases</code> command for the changes to take effect. | There's one special thing to remember, which is that after copying in the new <code>/etc/aliases</code> file, you have to run the <code>newaliases</code> command for the changes to take effect. | ||
