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.
