    AFAIK, a fresh install is totally fresh, fresh formatting and
    partitioning (if needed) of all hard disk. You can change that
    depending on your partitioning, needs, etc.

    If your home directories are on their own partition, you can tell the
    install program to mount that partition as home and not format, and it
    will obey you. Permissions may be all screwed on home though, as there
    will be no users until you add them to a fresh install, and I don't know
    if the new users would get a new home or if they would get their former
    home directories. The data, though, for sure would be saved. If you
    have a lot of users, though, getting home back in shape will still take
    quite a bit of work. If possible, add all users in the same order as
    before. It might help.
