> 1- After a manual partitionning, Ubiquity check if there a partition that is already called /home and make the user chose. (something like : Oh I see you already have an installation on /home, you're a cleaver linux user so I'll make you save your datas, do you want to use the same user name or create another one and access your datas once Ubuntu is fully installed?
> 2- If it's too complicated, obey to what the user said. If he chose a new partition to be /home, don't look anywhere else, and install it to this exact location. So the user can try to restore is data hardfully later (mine are already lost).
