Just another vote for moving the whole /ora8 directory over. There are other files necessary too, so I usually begin the Oracle install on the new computer, and then move the /ora8 directory over to complete things. It works well, no major problems I've noticed in the last three years of doing this.

Test it out once or twice before going live, of course. 😊

I recently cloned a database using this Metalink article. It took less than 15 minutes! It's probably more that you need, but it should be useful...
