That of course depends on your configuration. But the most general way is to copy every file on old system to the new system. I have done that several times successfully. I used ssh + tar like this: (on old system with root account)

cd /
tar cfzpv - * | ssh root@newsystem "cd / ; tar xfpz -"


It it better if the new system is minimally installed otherwise there would be leftover files on the new system. Also, you need to turn off services on both systems.

(as always, there is no guarantee this will work, make sure you know what you are doing)
