Hi,
more precisely you have to go to the Custom Partitioning, create your
partitioning which could be to add existing partitions from the previous
installation and uncheck "Reformat" checkbox for your home partition.
Precise steps depends on your target partitioning and your current one.
Please backup your data first, it's pretty easy to erase your data this
way by checking something incorrectly.
No, you have to create a new user. Your username and password are not
part of the /home partition, these are stored in the root ('/') and that
partition has to be reformated but all your data should stay there and
work with the new user.
I don't have experience with the Orca so I can't tell but the new UI
should be able to run the installation from a web browser of your
choice. I think we browsers should have support for the Orca these days
and the support should be much better than what we have in Anaconda. We
can check the Orca support but ideally when there will be something for
testing we would love to hear your feedback if the web UI will work for
you or not.
Best Regards,
Jirka

hi there sir Jirka,
my thanks for your responce,
I feered that this list was dead?
so If I am reading you correctly,
and I go custom partitioning with blivet in anaconda, i can untick a box
for the volume that is labled home?
and anaconda will lieve it alone?
and will reuse it as the new /home?
will the username and password have to be the same?
p.s on a related note not really,
I hear that a web-ui version of anaconda is on it's way,
I have some issues if you would not mind answering?
I use a screen reader, orca and anaconda is very accessible at the
moment.
if this web-ui is added and the gtk interface is purged then I feer that
I will not be able to install future versions of fedora.
could you help me in dismissing my feers?
r if you have the allmighty power, could you ask the relevent devs
unless you happen to be one about this?
best way of testing accessibility is to test the new web-ui with orca
running and listening to what orca tells you,
labled buttons, are the buttons and checkboxes and dropdown boxes
accessible and labled?
thank you for your help sir Jirka :)

Hello Majid,
thank you for your idea. It's definitely something we could discover.
Unfortunately, I'm worried that this will not be a simple change and
we are currently working on multiple projects with higher priority so
it probably it won't be implemented anytime soon.
Also, not sure if you know about that, but this is now doable with the
custom partitioning where you could re-use your existing /home without
format. However, I totally understand if the custom partitioning is
too complex for you.
Hope the above helps at least a bit.
Best Regards,
Jirka

hi,
firstly,
thank you for a lovly installer.
i'm blind and use orca the screen reader to aid me in installing
fedora.
too my question
i'm a end user, could what was asked in the subject line be made a
possibility?
usecase, fedora install is completely inoperable and you wish to
currently doo a repair install and you wish to retain your home
subvolume.
that is to say.
1.
reinstall fedora lieveing your home subvolume alone and using that
instead of formatting everything.
this would lieve your userdata alone including your .files.
you would need to make the same user account with the same name etc for
this to work.
how i see this in anaconda.
when the installer is launched and you have gone through the language
and keybord layout questions, when it getts to the partition stage and
default /auto partitioning is selected a question could be asked doo
you
wish to keep your home partition/volume?
I hope this makes sence.
I would be greatful if you were to considder this.
