Good plan! I thought Fedora was a moving target. It doesn't take long at
all for the "new paradigm" to upset the old one. If somehow you're
sharing an existing /home directory between the two, that might prove to
be problamatic. I restore my /home directories, like Downloads,
Pictures, Videos, etc. But never the old dot-conf files nor /etc files,
unless I do that very judiciously. Ric
