This is very distro specific stuff.  Which distro are you trying to load?
Most do support network installs, but that is highly variable.  I think
Redhat9 can handle installing from a USB CDROM drive, but i've never tried
(i don't own one).

BTW, can you trim your sig a bit?  I don't think we need your entire
resume :) in your sig.
