    Architecture, yes.  OS version, no.  Although I don't think that would
cause problems.

    Pathnames are the same.

    Ok.  Advice taken.

    I just realized that really all I need to tar/archive/copy over are the
following:

    $prefix/archives
           /data
           /lists
           /logs (since I want to keep them)

    ...any other (custom directory) I'm missing?  All the other ones are
Mailman specific, and will get recreated upon a new installation, right?
