Is the any chance of getting the pain Net-install onto the Live CD, 
then this could be branded as:

  live cd
  net-install
  win32 open-cd

The other thing I'd like to see is an option (on the install CD), is to act
as a 'netboot server'.  An equally small setup containing an automatically-
configured DHCP, TFTP & NFS server for doing an initally PXE bootstrap
to another (CD-less laptop) machine with a back-to-back/cross-over cable.
