I will agree with Tom here. I usually start with a knoppix or grml disk to get a system up and then something I'm fond of doing is create partitions and rsync the data from another box providing you have network access. I have install dozens of systems using this scenario and it works quite well. You just need to remember to use the --exclude flag of rsync for things like /proc and directory structures which are mounted on the machine you are rsync'ing from. You also need to remember to mount the root partition and run lilo with the -r flag before rebooting. I'm not sure about that flag though, I always have to look it up before I do it.
