- go to single user mode
- backup all the silesystem partitions (cpio, partimage, ...)
- create partitions, filesystems, swap on new machine
- restore backup
- boot from distro cd/dvd
- rewrite boot loader
- if hardware is different (e.g. from IDE to SCSI) check /etc/fstab, symlinks in /dev, etc
- if using a diferent CPU you may want to install a kernel optimized for your new CPU
hope this helps ...
