Default Linux Network Install

Hi All,
I have a doubt in the following.
I have a common repository of the Linux Distributions(primarily Redhat & SuSE) in ISO format at one machine in the network. I need to do a Network installation (Manual & not through Kickstart) on other machines in the network. Is it possible to create a bootable floppy/CD with which I can select the distribution I want to install on the machine and on selecting them I can install as I do it through a CD-ROM? The client machine will get it's IP Address through DHCP.
Assume there are many Distrinutions like, RH AS 3.0,RH ES 3.0, RH ES 4.0, RH AS 4.0, SUSE ES 8, SUSE ES 9, SUSE Prof 9, SUSE Prof 9.1, RH 9,etc...

Regards,
Vasanth

Yup it is possible, however it is going to take some, see doc
