YaST can install over a network using FTP or NFS. Just copy your standard 
SuSE boot images, which are available on the supplied CD-ROM or from the 
network. At our installfests, we normally have an internal network setup 
and export the CD-ROM via NFS. It is better to copy the CD-ROM images to 
disk so you don't need to unmount and remount on ever disk change.

There are other ways to do it by possibly cloning images of your file 
systems (/root, /boot, etc), then restoring these using tar or dd.
