/home when moving to Fedora from Ubuntu

[Kalpa Welivitigoda]

Hi Danishka and bitlord,

Thanks a lot for the fast responses.

It's exactly what bitlord has explained. It seems that it is just a matter
of labelling/display in anaconda. So I think it is safe to proceed with
mounting the ubuntu /home as the home for fedora.
