Advice for speech-friendly migrationy

I would add also to restore /usr/local/ and as far as /etc there are some 
scripts I hand modify and so of course back up those.  Also /root as well 
as /home  You also may want to use your package manager to dump a list of 
installed packages so you can get the new system up and running the same 
way the old system was with all the desired software.

I think the best thing to do is to make a back up of the old drive on DVD 
or whatever you have that can hold it and then install a clean install. 
After the install, then restore whatever you want from the backups.  I 
don't know how big your Linux partition is and so not sure how feasible 
that is for you.
