So you want to net-install XP but only go through the normal (same as from cd) setup and stop after that and do all else by hand?

Long time I have managed to avoid these kind of challanges. Recently I have got a LifeBook (B series, quite old, but small and handy - very good for service work) and it does not have any usable boot devices, but the network PXE (USB is too old, no CD/DVD-ROM, no floppy). I have managed to install Debian using desktop with Debian Etch on it and good Debian howto - it is about two pages :) You need a working DHCP server, a tftp and a small package of file for PXE booting/installing - quick and dirty. Unfortunatelly many of programs I need to use are working on DOS and windows. I need to manage install the same way windows XP. I do not need all of the facilities of "unattended", it is far beyond my needs. Is it possible to netinstall winXP more simple? I do not want to install basicly all drivers, service packs - I simply need a plain XP which can boot, after install process, from local hard drive, connect to network and use USB storage. All remain I can do by hand.
