Just create a new sysop user on the new machine, ln -s /home/sysop 
/spider, then copy across the whole spider tree from the old machine to 
the new one.

The above step will do that already.

Once you have the whole tree on the new machine and you are logged in as 
the sysop user:

cd perl
./cluster.pl

This will either work, or it will fail and ask for missing packages. 
Install them and try again. Repeat this until the warnings go away. If 
you are on the mojo branch you can pre-install the list of packages in 
/spider/UPGRADE.mojo

When it works, try running ./console.pl in another session. You will 
likely have to install the Curses package.

That should be it apart from sorting out the automatic starting of 
cluster.pl which is distribution dependent.
