Hello,
I am currently running fedora, but want to reinstall from a live
image. I have /home set up as a second ext3 partition. My question is
will I be able to install fresh into / and keep my data on /home? I
would like to continue using my user directory after the update if
that is possible. Are there any important considerations, like not
re-using the previous user name? I just don't want to find out too
late that the installer blanks /home!

If you choose the 'create custom layout' option in the partitioning tool and you know which partition was your /home, then you should be able to preserve this across reboots. is /home on LVM or is it a normal disk partition?

Regards,

Stuart
