Yeah, I should have been more specific. We've been kicking the idea
around to store the installer on each LAN and pointing the GPO to that
source.

  All our installs of Win XP and Office 2003 are done via network.
Boot from RIS and hit a few keys, and come back later when it's done.
It's fairly quick over gig Ethernet.  100 megabit in a secondary
building takes longer, but it's still quite practical.  And it sure
beats shleping CDs around.

  I wouldn't want to run it over a WAN link, though.
