Need advice on system restoral after disk crash

[bill at horne.net (Bill Horne)]

The good news: I started the backups early when I heard expensive noises,
and they finished OK.

The bad news: my 486's SCSI drive has crashed very hard. If exceeded the
MTBF by ~40%, so I don't have any complaints.

Now, here's what I used to have and have now:

Crashed system:

* 486 DX, 49MB ram, 2GB SCSI HD, running Apache, SSL, Mailman, and Sendmail
under RedHat 7.1.

The "standby" system that I was going to switch to "someday":

A Dell Pentium II, 64 MB ram, 9.3 GB SCSI drive, with an "everything"
install of redhat 7.3.

I have a tar archive of everything but the /proc and /mnt directories from
the old system, taken this afternoon, and now I'd appreciate any and all
advice about how to best restore the old system's functionality on the new
machine.
