Hey Bill,

If the other machine will be active, probably the easiest way to 
transfer all your files is to dump/restore over nc or ssh

something in the area of:

for filesystem in / /var /usr /home; do \
(dump -0f- $filesystem | gzip | \
ssh -c blowfish <user>@<remoteHost> \
"cd $filesystem && gunzip | restore -rf-"); done
