When doing a fresh install of rh6.2beta from cd, I specified that the partitions /dev/hda6 and /dev/hda10 NOT be formatted. /dev/hda10 (/home) was formatted anyways, and /dev/hda6 (/usr/src) was not. Here is a printout of my partitions. /dev/hda1 254244 37011 204106 15% / /dev/hda10 10502464 1091456 8877504 11% /home /dev/hda8 254244 225 240892 0% /tmp /dev/hda5 6192512 1225276 4652644 21% /usr /dev/hda6 4053171 1824927 2018506 47% /usr/src /dev/hda7 254244 15697 225420 7% /var /dev/hdc 442180 442180 0 100% /mnt/cdrom I suppose I could have made a mistake and not un-clicked the partition, but I'm pretty certian that i did. I didn't go back to try and duplicate it, as it was pretty aggrivating >:-(.
Here is what I am guessing happened. The installer has a new feature that if it finds a valid partition table on the partition being mounted as /home, then it will default to NOT FORMATTING the partition. All other partitions which are given mount points will default to being formatted. I bet that when you went to deselect /home and /usr/src, you actually deselected /usr/src and selected /home. I just tried it here in the lab and neither partition was formatted. Let me know if you continue to have problems and I will look deeper.
