The easiest thing is to just do the new install, but make sure it does
not format your existing /home partition. Then, when the new system
comes up, yer all set. I believe there is an option during the install
to do "custom" disk partitioning, this is what you would want to choose.

However, it is still a good idea to back up your home dir, say to a CD,
just in case.
