The test is supposed to check that the /home filesystem has been wiped. I do not know if the new install is supposed to have a dedicated /home partition too.

Currently the test "passes" because the new installation doesn't use a dedicated /home partition and re-uses the / one ; therefore the new install cannot use the one that had been used by the first install. Since the test criteria is only that files created before are not visible anymore, the test is marked as passed while it should fail.

Improvements:
- after chosing to re-install, the installer displays what will be done to partitions: this should include formatting the previously-used /home partition (which requires remembering the partition numbers seen when partitioning for the first install),
- check that 'df -h /home' outputs a 'mounted on' and a 'size' that match what is expected,
- sudo 'fdisk -l /devb/sda' (or the appropriate disk, as used when doing the first install) and check that if a dedicated /home partition is not used by the second install, then the old /home partition has been removed,
- if the new system isn't configured to use a dedicated partition, then try to mount the previous /home partition and if it doesn't fail, then 'ls' it to check that it is empty.
