How hard would it be to have an extra CD image with the distro that will only 
have the necesarry things to start the installation, partition, run fdisk, 
pass throught all the installation configuration, and when the packages are 
needed, just download them from the net.

Even better if it had the option to connect to any mirror (I could have a 
network to install and have a local mirror to install, say, 15 Desktops). Or 
have the ability to conect to a yam server. :-)
