I have a new laptop and have installed F28 on it. The old laptop is also running F28. I would like to copy /home from the old laptop to the second. What would be the best way to do this? Both are on the network, but I am hoping for a solution that does not go through the network.
Well, the easiest solution for not going through the network is to take the drive out of
the old laptop and put it in a USB
enclosure. Then plug it in the new laptop and just copy.
Using the network is the simplest method, but you could also use a flash
drive. The only consideration in any of these methods is to make sure
that the ownership of files is maintained. Depending on the method
used, you might need to run a "chown -R username: /home/username" on the
destination system.
