I am running out of disk space on my boot drive, therefore I would like to
users volume to another drive. Is this a problem in OSX?
Kinda. A lot of installers look to the default locations for /Applications and get confused. Some Applications won't operate if they are not located within the Applications folder.
An easy workaround is to place the Applications folder wherever you like, but put an ALIAS to it in the place where it would normally reside. That *should* take care of it.

James Lileks, on Apple's iMovie versus XP's Moviemaker:
"Was [my bro-in-law's] machine cheaper? Yes. But time is money; I've never had to claw my way through the sodden mess of a corporate website looking for the one driver that will let me do what I want to do. I've never had to spend a Sunday afternoon trying to understand what iMovie wants me to do, because it does what *I* want it to do. He said that Moviemaker made him feel stupid, because he couldn't figure out the simplest tasks.
I'll say this for his machine, though: if he ever wants to back up that 3.3 GB movie file on floppy disks, he's all set."
