Dang, forgot to mention one (critical) part: the old box is running Fedora 
9 (pre-Core days) with a /boot too small to upgrade, or I would have way 
back. And could I even get RPMs for 0.23 for it?

So what I'd have to do is install Fedora-something on the new machine and 
do the Backup/Restore to it, and then continue upgrading Myth on it.
