Since Fedora 7 Test 4 is finally out, I am about upgrading my FC6 and thus help
with testing F7. The problem is I created one logical group with three logical
volumes in it: /, /boot and /home and I'd like to keep this layout and the /home
volume. Is there any way how can I do clean install of F7 into this layout
without having to erase the /home partition?

Uhm, little mistake there.. the second one isn't /boot, but swap. Sorry for that.
If you actually mean "upgrade", Fedora will not erase any of your
existing data. The installer should offer to either install or upgrade
your existing system, and if you choose upgrade at this point, it
uprades the set of packages that you already have installed.
If it says "do you want me to initialize the drive" - this is a bug - do
_not_ initialize the drive! This would erase all information. Info at:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236743
For the clean "-ish" install - remember your user account folder could
contain incompatible settings, when you get to the installer screen
above, choose install, then in the partitioning screen there is a
drop-down with 4 options:
- erase all and use full disk
- erase linux partitions and use full disk
- {forgotten}
- custom
You need to choose custom.
On the disk layout screen, you select each of your partitions, edit, and
set only the mount point to where you want the partition mounted {eg
/home for the /home partition}. For LVM lv's you click edit, select the
individual item, then edit again.
To make the install "clean", set the partition that is for / to be
formatted.
Review your changes in the list at the bottom of the page, then double
confirm the request to format {only} the / partition after you click next.
