Migrating DTS packages and SQL Jobs

Hello All,
We are in the process of migrating our SQLServer2000 production server to a
better hardware and Windows 2003. We have lot of DTS packages and SQL Jobs
that needs to be migrated as well. I can script the Jobs and run the script
on the new server and similarly I can save the DTS package on the new server.
Instead, Can I backup the msdb database and restore it on the new server. I
was wondering which method would be the best.
Thanks,
rgn
Restoring MSDB is certainly an option but if you have anything that
references the original server name directly you may have to fix that.
