Typically you have to go full custom and assuming home is on a VG with
free space you would then have to create a LV and define a fs on it,
and assigned it as root (/).

Similar would have to be done with /boot outside of LVM and if efi
would you also need a /boot/efi again outside of LVM.

I do not have LVM.

No harddisk means no harddisk with free space(unpartitioned).  If
partitions are unused then you would have to assign them and/or rework
them.

What does the /home directory/disk look like?  (partition table, lvm
setup (if lvm)?)

sda1: 100 M Windows
sda2: 100 M Id 83
sda3: 31.6 G  /  Id 83
sda5:  5.0 G  holds an iso9660 image, won't boot, so settled for DVD
sda6:  6.0 G /var Id 83
sda7: 31.7 G /home Id 83

While running as a live OS, F38 can show me .jpg images from /home .
While supposedly doing an install,
it claims not to see /dev/sda or any hard drive at all.

I burned the F38 workstation installer onto a DVD.
On booting it can find my home directory on the only hard disk.
When I tell the installer to install,
it claims it cannot find a hard drive.  Grrr.

The first time I got the message, I just rebooted.
On the second boot, I looked for my home directory and found it.
I even looked at some images, so I know it was atually reading files.
When I told it to install, no go.

To do the install you have to point the installer at a partition you have
specified as the root (/) mount point for it to install to. As part of you

How?
It seems to want me to select from a list,
but the list is empty.
Also a message at the bottom states no hard drive detected.

can also point it at your /home partition and tell it that is the /home
mount point. You may also have to create a 100MB partition for the uefi
partition if you are installing on a uefi system.
