How do you reinstall archbang while preserving user accounts?

Hello team,

I have difficulty reinstalling archbang with same user account in an already existent linux system. I choose to use same username that already exists, but the archbang installer insists I use another username.

There are likely some users like myself that reinstall different distros or same distro on same home partition with hope to have option to use the same username. Any ideas?

As a workaround, I install with a new user, then try to re-enable my preferred user account.

Archbang rock on.

Why not just install arch instead?

kazuya, we do not support any other OS here but ArchLinux. You will have to ask on the Archbang forums and they might be able to better help you there.
