If you're installing Slackware, my script
    http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=bop1nb$1fm23u$1@ID-99293.news.uni-berlin.de
will install totally non-interactively. What you get in the end is the
same "fresh" system that you would get by installing from CD manually
and going through all the dialog menus.

If it's different distro, then install on one machine, and then copy
over the net.
