Hi Gernot,
Thanks for your fast feedback !
I am still considering my best HDD layout and its optimal partitioning.

Well, with /usr and its contents your are already deeper in the
problematic.
Yeah, I would love to get to know more about this when I am more
prepared
with my future / new layout and when it comes to transferring existing
data into
this new one !!

First I have to finish my homework to structure this layout before
discussing how
to save and transfer existing personal data without any loss !!! ;-)

Why don't you go easy at first, and wait until you have reconfigured
your system a few times? If you make /home a separate partition, and
/usr/local too, then at least any of your files and local package
installs can be kept and transferred independently of the rest of the
system.

Cheers, G
