I used Ctrl+Alt+Fn to determine that the sizes of the copied
directories on the desktop system do seem to correspond with their
original sizes on the laptop so that's good.
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
the laptop's partitions, so how can I get the data back to the laptop?
