is there a safe way to do a complete

Is your /home directory mounted as a separate partition?

Definitely the way to go if you don't want to wipe the /home directory, but want to do a clean install. That's how I manage to keep several directories between clean installs, including my /home.

Alright - is there anyway to set this up ad hoc? Can I just make a new partition, move my home folder there, and then go ahead with the reinstall? Or do I need to change something else?
