Can I setup a MySql database on a different partition from the MySql installation?

I have a server running Linux Red Hat 5 Enterprise with a basic, default installation. I would like to partition the HDs to separate my OS from database data. Now, after partitioning, should I reinstall MySql on the new partitions or can I configure it somehow to "point" to the new partition? Thanks!

Thanks everyone, for the help! One more question, this may seem like a silly qustion, however, I have been asked to change the "name" to the partition? For instance, is there a way to rename the volume something like "DB" or "Database"?
