I'm not sure that you can swap the hard drive between machines, once the OS
has been configured for a particular machine. I would love to know if
anyone has been successful with this sort of thing, and what they did to
make it work. Thanks!

I've been doing this for years with RH and RC releases with very minor problems.
You do need to install the correct X driver after the move, and reconfigure X.
Other than that, it's been nearly transparent between machines. Much easier to
just take the HDD out of a machine without media, install, and put back. Even
for notebooks, as you can easily use the 2.5 drive with an IDE adapter.
