I'm planning on moving the Fedora-20 system on my laptop

I've partitioned the new disk.
When I copy partitions from the old disk to the new one
with "cp -a" (running under a Fedora Live CD)
I get a lot of messages of the form
diff: a/bin/acroread: No such file or directory
diff: b/bin/acroread: No such file or directory
I've done that quite often, and it's no problem.
1. Boot from an external medium, e.g. www.sysresccd.org
2. Mount both disks
3. Use "rsync -avxHSAX /source/ /target" to copy the partitions
4. Install grub2 on the new disk:
- mount /dev/sdaX /mnt
- grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda
- grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/boot/grub2./grub.cfg
Reboot, and you're done.
I am planning a migration from a present F20 installation to a new
system--that is, a new physical box on which I will do a completely
fresh installation of F20 from the KDE spin. I am prepared to re-install
all applications. All I want to do is move the contents of /home. What
are the best commands for doing this?
