in a nutshell take everything it offers you unless you KNOW you have 
changed it. this would include things like the group file and the 
master.passwd file. in almost every case you will NOT want to install 
those but rather want to merge them or add the new entries on your own.

Just make sure you backup before you start and you should be fine =)
