[TriLUG] Moving user accounts

I'm getting ready to move my server from Fedora core 2 to Cent OS. In
preparation , I've installed a second hard drive, moved the home directories
to it along with my mysql databases. I've copied /etc there as well to
maintain a copy of all the configurations. I plan to remount the 2nd hard
drive as /home after the OS upgrade

My questions are, have I missed anything in the saving copies of stuff?
And 
After I install Cent.. can I restore the existing users from /etc info?

I only have 5 users and could just use adduser but I'm using this as a
learning experiment.

THANKS in advance!
