Was this an install or upgrade? Did you choose to format /home if it was a separate partition?
This was a complete install over an old system. I didn't choose to install over home. Thinking back over now, i didn't choose to format home. This would have been a problem because home was in a different portion of the drive. So of course it would fail. So i'm thinking that the default option should have been to format home...
no i didn't format home.
We don't make it in by default because it is not uncommon for people to reinstall machines and we thought it safer to not format the data they want to keep. Sorry this wasn't clearer.
