best way to upgrade via a fresh install

Hi,

We have 3 machines we need to upgrade from 4.0E (or F) to 5.1A. I've done
this on a 4100 by upgrading to each interim release but want to do the rest
of the machines by installing 5.1A fresh. The question I have is how to do
this while minimizing the amount of post-installation configuration work.
For instance I'd like to be able to save as many configuration files from
4.0 as possible so I can copy them back after installing; e.g. -- whatever
files store the LICENSE PAK information or networking information, etc. Has
anybody done this? Do you have a list of what these various files are? I
understand that the complete list would vary by implementation but if
somebody had some sort of list that could be shared I'd really appreciate
it.

The machines I'm upgrading are a 1000A, an AS 800 5/500, and a DS20E. The
DS20E has an RA3000 attached to it and is using LSM to mirror the system
disks (I don't know if LSM is used for the RA3000 in any way).

Many thanks!
Andy
