I wouldn't do that. You'll be going about it the hard way. Setting up a 
fresh user account on the new system and then trying to migrate all your 
data over to it from an old system can be a real PITA. Don't use 
Migration Assistant at all. Use Setup Assistant, which will grab 
everything from your old system right from the beginning. If you then 
have stuff on the new machine you don't want, delete it.
