Hendricks found his /home suddenly formatted after upgrading to ydl2. A
LinuxPPC Q4 wanted to move his system to YDL2 and asked me if he should
tell it use his existing /home during the install. I told him it would
format it if he tried and to do this instead.

Ignore /home during install,
after first boot after install:
   rm -rf /home
   mount /dev/whatever /home
then edit /etc/fstab to make sure it stays that way

after that, look at your passwd and groups files and make
sure to match up the UID and GIDs in the for the home dirs.

This should work until the next YDL2 maintenance release with an more
upgrade minded installer.
