_I_ already have the install infrastructure set up, it's evolved since 
RHL 7.2, and caters for Debian, Ubuntu and RHL-family. However, 
sometimes it's convenient not to use it.

I'm contemplating extending it to do Windows too; I have one ISC DHCPD 
set up that does Windows, I'm contemplating choosing between Windows and 
The Others at PXE-boot time.


There has also been discussion (maybe other fora) in the distant past 
about preventing install loops. Getting the CD out early would help.

Also a note when it's safe to remove USB media. for those with that need.
