Well of course the blindingly obvious answer is to have separate /home directories. You could do that one one of the installs (the newer one?) by temporarily by editing the /etc/fstab and commenting out the line referring to /home. Do this in single user/recovery mode, then make sure it isn't currently mounted (umount /home) and make a home directory (mkdir /home) and make a home directory for your user (mkdir /home/alan) then change ownership of it (chown alan:alan /home/alan) Of course replacing all occurrences of "alan" with your user name. This would (in one install) give you a clean home directory. Cheers, Al.
