What about
Archive the current configuration from the control panel. Assuming
you have not used that before, it will be archive in the profile
named "Office".
Then copy /etc/linuxconf/archive on the new machine and do
linuxconf --extract
Note that you can extract sub-system per sub-system by naming the
sub-system to extract.
You may want to play with that a little if you are unfamiliar with system
profile versioning. You may want to create few profiles and switch between
them to grasp the principle. This (system profile) is really cool to
experimentation and for notebook
