RE: replicating an instance

And of course, in addition to the answers you've already received which
cover what you really wanted to do rather than what you asked for,
remember you're copying the database, not the instance!  :)

Subject: replicating an instance

I do development so please bare with the stupid question. To copy an
instance I do the following right? 
1. Shut down the instance
2. Copy all data files to the new locations
3. Change the DB_NAME, dump directories, and redo log paths in the
init.ora file
4. startup nomount. Rename the redo logs
5. Create control file
6. Open database.

I think Im missing some steps.
