Samba will do this quite well. I've used it to do LAN installs of Windows by
setting up a DOS machine to load the appropriate network client.
I'm not 100% sure what Ben means by "local CD ROM" though. A DOS/Windows
client with the appropriate client software will be able to map a drive
letter to a Samba share ("net use x: \\sambaserver\sharename"). Hopefully,
that's what's needed.
The only catch is that it REQUIRES TCP/IP. No NetBEUI! No IPX! You need to
get the clients workable with that first, then try out Samba.
Good luck!
