Restored All Database Except for Master

Hi there,
Yesterday we built a new SQL server 2000 SP3, we restored all company
database using our b-up software. We tested them and our apps seems to work
fine against the newly built SQL server.
Question that is burning my head is: we restored everything except the
MASTER, MODEL, MSDB and PUBS. It was a matter of not knowing if they MUST be
restored together with our own databases.
Mind you, all our apps can talk and write and no problem at all. Do we still
need to restore these ones to our new SQL server?
Any advises or suggestions is much appreciated. Any questions is appreciated
too.
TIA

You might want to browse thru these to see why you may or may not want to
move the system dbs and what is involved. By the way there is nothing
special about Pubs, it is a sample db and is usually removed from production
servers.
