If home is a directory, you can manually delete the rest of the drive (all the folders but the home one), and not format drives during the install. If home is a partition, you can do pretty much the same as the above (format the other partitions, delete any folders left over, but leave home alone). I'd be tempted to take home out of the equation for the new install, old settings on a new release doesn't always work nicely (rename old home directories, relabel old home partitions, before the install). If you let the new install create a new home, you can work this out afterwards (copy over old bits and pieces, as needed). -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.4-65.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
