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?
