I am running ubuntu 11.10 32bit. I have separate / and /home partitions. I want to go back to Ubuntu 10.04. How can I do this without losing my /home partition. Basically I want to save my preferences and all the settings I have saved, my emails accounts and other stuff. I have also setup github and bitbucket setup in this /home partition.

While installing , install Ubuntu in "/" partition as usual and dont format /home partition. It will remain as it is ~~(By the way I made the assumption that by "/home" you mean your home directory)~~

And one more thing that you need to do is it should be indicated to the installer that you want to mount that particular partition under /home.
