dd if=/dev/sda8 of=/where/ever/you/want/to put/it

Then install Trisquel 4.0 and then put back the image on the new home
partition.
dd if=/where/ever/you/want/to put/it of= /dev/new/home/partition

The new home partition must be equal or bigger than the original home
partition. Make sure you make an image of the new home partition in case it
doesn't work to put the old partition back.

Hope this helps.
