    yep, just run through the site wide tables and change any row or field that has the old domain to the new one.

    What if my previous install is on the same domain, but in a folder? I am thinking of putting my install in the root now?

    Besides moving all the files from the folder to the root.

    Do I need to change everything in the database? Thanks!

    samchng, I believe you will just need to make one or two changes. look in the "site options" table and you should see a row with the current path, etc.

    the only wpmu tables with url to change i could find,
    .htaccess

    can anyone think of any others
    and would there need to be any changes in mysql database?

    That's what andrew meant - the tables in the database. :)
