"Overwrite" is a bit questionable what it should do, it can be done multiple ways and none of them seems as a clean new installation to me. What I do by hand is: mkdir /old mv /* /old Install new OS (sure without mkfs-ing the partition). Reboot to the new OS. Move the important parts/configs/etc. from /old/** to the new OS at /. rm -rf /old That "mkdir /old; mv /* /old" part cannot be done from Anaconda GUI.
