 You can create an unattend.txt file for Win2K and XP. For Win98SE, the file is called msbatch.inf (I think, haven’t messed with that in some time.) The tools to create these files, are on the OS CD's (if you can't find them, let me know, I'll get the actual file names for you.)

To create the CD, I'd suggest you boot it it with a Virtual Floppy disk. There is a program called WBAT, for DOS. It will allow you to create DOS Windows, with check boxes, radio buttons, text boxes, ect.

This would allow you to boot the computer with the CD, choose to . . .

[.] Install WinXP Home
[.] Install WinXP Pro

I've done something similar, so I know it can be done.
