Install over Mandriva - Protect /home

Hi

In all the fedora reviews for install everyone is needing to format before starting an install. I want to install FC5 over mandriva installation.

There are only 2 partitions on my drive / root and /home . I want to have FC5 format and install to root and leave my /home untouched. /home is ext3 .

I know I have to remove the config files from my user directory to stop any install config errors in desktop environment.

Can FC5 do this all other install guides seem to be saying we need a third party formatter to install fedora, fedora does come with its own format option in anaconda doesn't it?
