To do that make sure you go down the Advanced route in the installer
(or whatever it is called on the version you are installing), select
this on the page where you decide whether you want it Alongside, Full
Disk and so on.  Then make sure that the partition for '/' (or '/home'
if you have that on a separate partition) is *not* selected to be
formatted.
