Hi,
If you mean "install" the easy way
ie from distribution DVD or CD's then the answer is NO !!
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=147256
If you mean "copying" from an existing disk,
hacking initrd, fstab, grub, ... by hand then yes !!!!
Try

as a starter.
Good luck !
Cheers John
