John et al -
I know just enough about Linux to just keep the basics running, so
excuse the fundamental nature of this question:
How are the passwords handled for all of those /home dirs? Or do you do
a manual copy of each user (and I do not have a list of the passwords),
or did you copy the password file (after combining the shadow password
file with it)?

Yes, you can save you home dir direwhere and then
copy it back, but DO NOT copy back the ~/.kde
kdeirectory. Let KDE KDEate it new. Don't know
how gnome would react.
OTOH I copied ~ from RHL 7.3 to Debian (Woody) with no drama, and
years later from Debian (Sarge) to FC3, again without problems.
Not the original desktop though.
