.htaccess redirect questions
===

I'm redirecting my website from my old domain to my new one.
Preety much everything is done, I have only 2 questions:

1) The website is a bit different on the new domain (I removed some pages and sections). Is it ok (SEO-wise) to redirect the pages I have on the old domain to the same pages on the new domain and then redirect every other page to the root of the new domain?
So basically, redirect old pages that don't exist anymore to the root of the new domain.

2) How do I do that?

For now I have a bunch of rules like:

    Redirect 301 /oldfile.html http://www.newdomain.com/newfile.html

How do I add a rule to say redirect tha pages as instructed above AND redirect every other page to the root of the new domain?

Thank you for your time!
