Another way is to:
1. Create in the /home partition directories like /home/bin, /home/doc,
etc.
2. Move stuff from /usr/bin, /usr/doc, etc. to those directories.
3. Replace /usr/bin, /usr/doc, etc. by soft links to /home/bin, /home/doc,
etc.
This way, the partitions don't have to be reformatted at all.
