take note of the partitions /, /home, /tmp, /usr, and /var are on in your 
case /hdb1=/ 5=/usr, 6=var, 8=tmp, and 9=/home. Then during the install you 
will be presented with partition options, choose the "custom" the next screen 
will show you the same partition list. click on each partition and click 
on "edit" and set the mount point to the same mount point as what you had 
written down previously and choose to format all the partitions *EXCEPT* 
your /home partition. (hdb9)
