What would be required is for the CD to boot into an install Wizard which looks in a pre-defined location on the existing HDD for a very simple configuration file which points to the "real" configuration file.
This should be possible with the next release: DSL has a simple mechanism to backup/restore settings. If hda1 is writable (ext2/3 or fat32, NO ntfs), restore is done automatically.
In fact this should have been possible with the last release. But I... let's say there's a bug :-)
If this file is found, read the configuration and continue booting.
At startup, before starting the slimserver, the init script checks whether there's a preference file. If it does not exist, it copies an existing template
Getting really advanced, there should be an option to copy the whole slimserver bundle onto the local HDD and to run from there.
In the next release the backup mentioned will backup the whole slimserver tree. This would allow for installing additional plugins, updating slimserver etc.
