Have you considered setting up a network mirror and reducing the CD need

doing.
When my main customer installs the kiosks, they don't connect to a network
usually (despite what my documentation says). They usually just connect
them
to the adsl router they'll get deployed with, but its not connected out.
When
they put the machines out on site they just want to plug-in-and-go. They
are
also not very technical. Even though my install does 99% of the work for
them,
the still manage to get it wrong. I thought about this solution, but went
against it as it would cause me a lot of head aches and support calls.
How about
1. A tool such as systemimager?
2. A DVD?
3. A DVD configured to boot as an install server?
4. dd if=kiosk.img of=/dev/hda
There's a barebones CD around that might serve as a basis for 3. and 4..
