How to install LL but keep /home

If as you show have /home on a separate partition, when installing LL choose the "Something Else" option.
You would reformat root "/" but leave /home as is.

The caveat - is you'll possibly be reusing some files from 2 OS's ... You could run into problems - I would move these files to another folder - specifically any files with a "." in front of the name, that are in your home directory... thus allowing LL to create as needed...
