I want to move my home system to FC2 when it comes out, however, I want to migrate my data to the new system. I want to learn what is the proper method to migrate and keep all the data I've created safe.

I'm trying to head off potential frustration, by good planning in advance.

I understand there are significant differences between FC1 and FC2 that might mean a fresh install is preferred. If that is the case, can I simply save everything in /home/username and the files I created in /var/www/includes and /var/www/html/ to a CD and install them in the freshly installed FC2?

Should I do an upgrade or fresh install?

Thanks,
Clint
