Data Restore After Fresh Install of 10.1

I am currently running SuSE 10.0 and am preparing to go to 10.1. After following some of the discussions on this list, I have decided to do a fresh install. I have, or will have, backups for /home, /public, /srv, and /etc. I see no problems with restoring all those directories except for /etc. There's a lot of "stuff" in /etc and I'm not sure that restoring it from a backup after a fresh install is a good idea. Any advice from the experts on the list? Donald D. Henson, Managing Director West El Paso Information Network The "Non-Initiation of Force Principle" Rules
