Ok; that sounds fine. However I thought the would be some certificate(file) that I can backup and then install on the upgraded system and then run something like up2date -p and then the new system would take on the same settings as the old one e.g. groups and stuff. If it can't be done I'll do it the way Ed suggests, however it seems to be a bit "shitty" that you can't reinstall a machine and use a cert to get back to the original state.
