I would take a look at some of the specialized items, e.g. lcd management and
so on built into to Cobalt's implementation first. You will have to do the
install via a network connection unless you intend to add other devices to it?

Why not try it and see after you have a Restore CD on-hand? If it does not
work, pop in the Restore CD and go back to Cobalt Linux. 

Please do post your experiences. I would like to know the answer too.
