<font face="Comic Sans MS">While you're installing kubuntu, choose
to manually configure partitions. Either do nothing with
/dev/sda6 or choose to mount it as /home. <br>
<br>
I have one whole drive for my home directory. Everything else is
installed on another drive. Recently I tried several distros. With
each distro I chose the option to configure partitions myself
instead of letting it do the job. I would either choose during
the install to mount that drive as my home directory or do nothing
with it during the install and add it to fstab later.<br>

<pre wrap="">How can I do a fresh install of kubuntu on one of my systems that now has
a corrupted pclinux installed, but protect the /home partition from being
over-written? Can this be done safely?
'df' shows the following:
/dev/sda1 12G 5.7G 5.6G 51% /
tmpfs 473M 0 473M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda6 168G 23G 146G 14% /home
