That is exactly what I am going right now.
OK. I now have a directory full of restored files and a new user. What
is the best way of copying the restored files from the new user's login,
to my current /home?
I can see a couple of ways:
1. Do the copy with sudo.
2. Use a live disc and copy the files that way.
Either way, I'm going to have to chown the new files to allow me to
login and run the system normally.
Is there a better way?
