Your steps will work - let me make an alternative suggestion though...

Backup your home folder to another machine on the network as you wanted to.

Install mondo 2.2.8 from the mondo website.

Backup your laptop to cd's or a network share

Install the bigger harddrive and restore using your mondoarchive cd(s)

Much simpler.  :-)
