I have build a vmware machine where all features are available. Feel free to 
ask me for the link.
The vmware image is free and there is only OpenSource software (mainly GPL 
licensed) installed.
The vmware image is based on gentoo (http://gentoo.org), a high customizable 
Linux system.
You will run through a setup for the first boot where you can chooce:
- the unattended user (if you have one you can use this, if not chooce uauser!)
- the unattended users password (if you have one you can use this, if not 
chooce unattended-gui!)
- the location of your install SMB server (if you have one you can use this, if 
not chooce the IP or name of this machine, you will be asked for IP/Name later)
- the location of the GUI install (should be for this case the IP or the name 
of this machine)
- Run through a short network setup
- You are asked if you want to start LDAP/SAMBA/TFTP and DHCP (DHCP can be 
started later - only start it if you know what you are doing... the dhcp is 
preconfigured and can make trouble in your network)

The image contains:
- a samba server (for WinOS and Win-Software installations) preconfigured for 
the use of unattended or unattended-gui
- a tftp Server with a menu based boot menu including unattended-boot 0.7, 
memtest and other features for PXE/BootP booting
- a DHCP Server
- a WEBserver with an complete and ready to use unattended-gui installation 
(version 1.708)
- a Mysql Server

Also new release of the boot-cd is available:
http://unattended-gui.sourceforge.net/index.php?title=Main_Page#2008-04-18_unattended-gui_boot-cd_0.8

Changes:

      * e1000 driver version: 8.0.1
