I can confirm what Donn wrote: Make a separate partition for home. The 
kubuntu installer is actually supporting you with this because it lets 
you choose certain mount points (amongst them is "/home/") for 
individual partitions.
Here is some more information concerning partition size and a "/home/" 
partition:
