Installing WP in a sub directory (2 posts)

    This may be a really stupid question, but I just can't find the answer (or is too stupid to get it).
    Today I have a working static site but I'm thinking about switching to WP instead. The trouble is, can I install WP in a sub directory since I don't want to screw up the present site? Is it just so simple as creating a subdirectory called let's say <root>/wordpress, ftp all the files to that directory, create the MySQL database, change the basic 'DB_NAME', 'DB_USER' and 'DB_PASSWORD' and surf to the wp-admin/install.php-file to finish up? Is it just that simple or am I being naive?

    Thanks for you help.
