Jorge,
Thanks.

Would that be just the home directory?  Or are there other directories to 
copy a persons complete account?

And by copying the etc/shadow, etc/passwd and etc/group would this create 
there accounts on my new machine?

Is there anything else I should be asking?

I am sorta new at this.

Thanks
Don
