[PLUG] Adding a new HD

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@verizon.net>]

I am adding a new (additional) hard drive.  My current HD has a simple 
ext3 partitioning: (/, /boot, & /swap).  I want to move /home to the new 
drive as well as installing a new distro.

Can I just do a

   mkdir /newhome

on the new HD, and then

   mv /home /newhome
   mv /newhome/home /home

That doesn't seem right.

Or is there something I should be doing with dd?

Or should I install the new distro to the new HD and then just move the 
existing /home files to /home on the new distro?  I am assuming no major 
conflict in sharing home among the two distros as long as it is in its 
own partition.

I feel like I am missing something critical.
