If you have a machine with space enough for the ISO files, you could share a
mountpoint with NFS, and boot from either the boot.iso or diskboot.img from
the images directory on the first cd.
The diskboot.img can be copied to a usb thumbdrive with dd and booted from.
You enter the network parameters and the NFS share, and the install runs from
the NFS share. I keep a server with 3 or 4 different distros on it just in
case I need it.
