That will all work OK.
If you install a frugal installation with GRUB then you can edit the boot line the first time you boot on the libretto to change to the correct vga=xxx code (xxx=808 is best for a 100/110) .
You can run the 'installed' system on the first computer to check that all is woking OK before reinstalling the hard drive in the libretto. If you do this then also add the xsetup boot code to your grub line when you edit it to change the vga=xxx code, then the xsetup script will start & allow you to change the xserver, mouse, keyboard etc. Once you are booted you can make the permanent change to vga=xxx in the menu.lst file for GRUB.
If you don't know how to edit things at boot time in GRUB - just highlight [use arrow keys] the boot option you want (i.e. DSL)from the list presented by GRUB, hit 'e', select the line you want to edit, hit 'e', make the changes (change vga= , add xsetup at the end os the line), hit 'enter', press 'b'. These changes aren't permanent - they are only active for that one time - hence the need to edit the menu.lst file once the system has booted.
