Maybe it is possible. I suppose during installation Fedora has to
recognize the external disk so that it can get the mountpoint /home. If
that is possible, then there is no problem using an external drive as
/home directory.

I am absolutely not sure, if it is possible to change the
mountpoint /home on a running system. And if, how to.

Sorry, if that is a double post, I still have problems getting mails 
through to the list and do not know why.
