I suggest going one step simpler: copy the contents of the CD to 
os/winxp, forget the iso image. In any case, that sounds like an 
extension to the normal use of unattended, so maybe it will work - I 
wish you luck, it sounds neat.

I'll answer in a different way to FwdTmp in case this is what you meant: 
When I first started, I answered all the prompts interactively. When the 
machine was finished installing, I found C:\netinst\unattend.txt on the 
target machine, then used lots of its content (copied and pasted) to 
populate the site/unattend.txt on the server. Since then I've reduced 
the questions I answer down to a couple of drivers and the final yes/no 
prompt.

Cheers,
Greg.
