HD Install :: Is it possible to move the /home directory

I am a linux noob an need some help here please.

Is it possible to move the /home directory to another hard drive or partition.

I want to move my /home or /dsl directory to another parition or hard drive because i have a large 2nd hard drive and want to store my files and settings there.
If anyone could lead me in the right direction that would be great. I have a little experience in scripts,etc but would like an example.
Thanks
Dan

Did you try the cheat like

dsl home=hdb1

or whatever drive partition you want?

hda is the primary drive on the primary IDE cable, hdb is the slave drive on that IDE hdc and hdb use the secondary IDE cable. Anyway I think I am remember that correctly.

The letter is the partition. The letter 'a' is the first partition 'b' the second etc.

You can use
fdisk -l to see what you have available.

fyi, the letter is not the partition, but the drive itself, as you explained earlier. The number is the partition. The letter 'a' in hda2 signifies the primary drive on the primary IDE cable, and the number '2' would signify the second partition on the primary drive.

Apropos, does the Knoppix "home=scan" boot option make anysense in DSL?

Thanks mikshaw for the clarification. If I could only type/say what I am thinking I could actually make a contribution.
