Migrating from fc13 to ubuntu 13.10 u13.10 0002 ----
root mount of former fc13 is sda1. root / is mounted on sdb1 for u13.10
moving scripts. all scripts I have created are in /usr/local/bin
so
cd /sda1/usr/local
tar cvzf user.local.bin.fc13.tgz bin
cd /usr/local
tar xzvf /sda1/usr/local/ user.local.bin.fc13.tgz bin

====================================================
user setup what are the user groups of the distribution /etc/group
what are the user id assigned by default to users. way back started with 100 or 101, then went to 500 and now are at 1000. look in /etc/passwd

I use 500 area and reset watson back to fc13 userid in passed file.
I also have my few normal user be members of group users.

in old home of fc13 /sda1/home/watson
cd /sda1/home/
tar cvzf watson.tgz watson
go to home of u13.10
cd /home
if watson exists and that would be normal.
mv watson watson.u13.10
tar xzvf /sda1/home/watson.tgz
chown watson.users -R watson

the one needed important file from /home/watson.u13.10 is
/home/watson.u13.10/.fvwm/.fvwm2rc This is was used to create the current fvwm desktop layout. It has likely already been edited for file pointer to function in u13.10 different from fc13.

I found at this point, shut down fvwm and log out and login again.
then start fvwm
xinit `which fvwm`
