Well, generally if you're doing an install and have a partition you don't wan't the installer to mess with, not specifiying it as /home and just let it do the install with home on the / partition will ensure taht your data isn't damaged. Then afterward just edit the fstab and remount /home onto your old home partition. -- Nick Jennings
