Ok, I just went ahead and did this. I had to re-chown and re-chmod the 
files because I screwed up the copy but otherwise I think it is working.

Now I have to figure out slightly new ways of working - cgi no longer 
likes the admin user but I think I have that one figured out. I'll look 
through the archives and figure out why it now chokes on .htaccess but I 
assume it will be easy to find the answer. And also have to research how 
you back up the mail/mysql/webpage stuff on these bluequartz (I'm 
assuming no raqbackup.sh?) but sure I'll find that with google.

cheers, Jim
