As long as you don't mean that the installation is dependant on an internet connection ... Also, think modular. Any configuration that gets done should be available after install (my sugestion is webmin's perl scripts, since they are already used/available after installation), and should preferably take advantage of existing apps (ie webmin). It should also be possible to "save" any part of the installation procedure (ok, maybe not hardware issues), like package selection, startup services etc independantly.
