Ability to install over a previously used filesystem keeping key directorys such as HOME

Registered by M Willis Monroe

A method for installation where the installer boots off of a cd and asks for a partition to install too. Detecting a previous Ubuntu (or Linux?) install it asks if you want to overwrite and save files or just wipe it clean and re-install. This allows the user to install a new version of Ubuntu with clean configuration files while at the same time keeping their home directory and files.
