After adding the hard drive you need to determine its device name.  If the 
new drive is the second IDE drive it'll be /dev/hdb.  If the new drive is 
the second SCSI drive it'll be /dev/sdb.

Use fdisk to partition the new drive, then mkfs to partition it.  Afterwards 
use mount to mount it; and add it to /etc/fstab to have it mounted at system 
boot.

That's assuming kudzu won't do that already anyway.  If kudzu doesn't do 
this, I think it should.
