[G4] Installing Panther on a different disk

I guess I should have been a bit more specific.  If I want to clone 
my Jaguar system to a new disk, and then upgrade that disk to 
Panther, what files do I need to copy (using Carbon Copy Cloner)?  Is 
the list in the "Backing Up OS X" web page exhaustive?  In other 
words, if I use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy:

/Volumes/Backup/Applications
/Volumes/Backup/Developer
/Volumes/Backup/Library
/Volumes/Backup/System
/Volumes/Backup/System\ Folder
/Volumes/Backup/Users
/Volumes/Backup/cores
/Volumes/Backup/private
/Volumes/Backup/usr
/Volumes/Backup/bin
/Volumes/Backup/sbin
/Volumes/Backup/mach_kernel
/Volumes/Backup/.hidden

will I have a complete copy of my Jaguar system on the new disk?

I like Carbon Copy Cloner, and I've made several donations to its 
programmer, but I wish that it would default to just copying the 
files needed to clone the system.
