The part I remembered is "Installing Debian GNU/Linux from a Unix/Linux
System", http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apcs04.html.en
This is an extremely flexible method of installation which I have used
over networks before. I believe it works with Ubuntu with the
appropriate changes (sarge->dapper, package sites).
What you could do is set up an apt proxy, like apt-proxy or apt-cacher,
on a machine, start the machines to have Ubuntu installed on them with
any Linux LiveCD or some other form of that sort (you could probably
make a floppy that would do it), and then run debootstrap with either
your local caching mirror or a remote mirror. Then you can apt-get
install xubuntu-desktop or whatever else you want with the local mirror.
