I used Ctrl+Alt+Fn to determine that the sizes of the copied |
| 2 |
directories on the desktop system do seem to correspond with their |

How should I copy the data from the desktop system back to the laptop? |

After the data is copied to the desktop, I'll make new filesystems on |
| 7 |
the laptop's partitions, so how can I get the data back to the laptop? |
