The only problem is that if a target PC has the CD drive above the hard disk (in BIOS boot list), you can get into an infinite loop of reinstalling the machine on each reboot. Even when I added an "eject" command into my chroot or pre-install script, these darn drives pull the CD back into the machine when it resets/reboots!
Have the default isolinux option be "boot from harddisk" that way unless someone is there to manually select the desired install method no reinstall can happen ... this is what we do and I agree CD is infinitely less hassle than PXE. Boot from harddisk is the default option on standard SuSE CDs (at least for Enterprise server) so you should be good just copying that config onto your customized install CDs. Fraser
