Yes, it is possible. During install, give the mount point for the
existing home filesystem as '/home', but just remember to keep the
checkbox for formatting that specific filesystem unchecked.
Forgot to mention that this is possible only if the current '/home'
exists as a separate filesystem
If not, the only way to save the data would be to boot into rescue mode
using the install DVD/USB, copy the data from the /home directory to an
external drive, and then reinstall the system, copy back the data.
