Adding disk after install

[Luctor]

Here's my masterplan :-)

I've got 2 harddisks in my PC, hda is the os (currently Gentoo) en the other hdb is mounted on /home
Would it be possible to :
install FC5 on hda (leaving hdb untouched)
after install mount hdb on /mnt/tmp
copy /mnt/tmp/* to /home/ ( i should have enough room)
add hdb to the lvm volume group using this (http://fedoranews.org/contributors/andrew_donoho/lvm/) guide

Yes - as long as there's room there.

after install mount hdb on /mnt/tmp

Yes - as long as the filesystem there is supported by your new installation.

copy /mnt/tmp/* to /home/ ( i should have enough room)
add hdb to the lvm volume group using this (http://fedoranews.org/contributors/andrew_donoho/lvm/) guide

Yes.
