The best way to accomplish this is configuring an unattended install. You
can install software, hotfixes, and specify installation parameters all on a
bootable cd. Just put it in and walk away! Here is a link to a forum that
will put you on the right track...

You also may want to look at BARTPE, a variant on the MS preinstall
enviroment.

> Well almost. If you want to install the same ghost image on several
machines you will need to sysprep the computer before create the image of
it. Otherwise you have all kinds of issues when you bring up multiple
workstations imaged with the same ghost clone. This only becomes a real
problem if you have them on the network and/or run a domain (I guess the
latter assumes the former).
