I have a separate /home partition which contains all of my important data. Therefore I want to do a new installation of Fedora 18 but reuse the existing /home partition. In the old Anaconda that was simple. I'd just use set up a customised partition layout, telling it to reuse the /home partition and to do what it wanted with the rest of the disk. But I can't work out how to do that on the new version of Anaconda. The new partitioning sets up this artificial distinction between the old Fedora 17 installation and the new Fedora 18 one and I can't see how to tell the new installation to use a partition from the old one.
Can you try setting the F17 /home mount point to /home? It should move it from F17 to F18. You might have to click on an "advanced" button or something similar to see the mount point option.
