Yes, all the hardware except the drive is the same. But, that's just the
point. Am I wrong about this? Aren't their drive specific params to an
install?
Second, is installation really that hard? Seems it should be cleaner to
simply install then move the data, including appropriate /etc
configurations, back over. Certainly seems more secure and less
experimental to me.
But, I've been wrong before.
