[ale] Ubuntu install witout formating /

[Christopher Fowler]

I'm trying to install Xubuntu on my laptop _without_ formatting /.  It
has FC5 on it and I created a /FC5 and copied all my old stuff into
there.  When I try to install Xubuntu it will not allow me to install
without formatting /.  This will remove all my old stuff.  Is there a
way around this?  I guess I can copy all 12G off and then back on but
that sucks and takes time.
