I did the same thing about a year ago. In my experience, everything went very smooth. Of course I didn't have any type of cd-writer on the machine, but what you said sounds accurate. The only "issue" was that hotplug now found my wireless card and insmod'ed the orinoco module for it. But I was using hostap, so I had to blacklist my orinoco driver, so it wouldn't do it.
