when booting from the linux based CD, you get some message like "... if running from CD you can eject it now ..." which is gone some seconds later. Wouldn't it better to stop at this point and print a message "please remove cd and press a key to continue"?
That wouldn't make for a particularly unattended installation (although I will agree that neither does having the machine boot the CD over and over...). You can, however, use cdeject to pop the disc out (I don't think it's on the CD, but Patrick's a nice bloke about cramming more crap on the image) or, even cuter, use one of the tools to fiddle the BIOS boot order so the CD-ROM drive is no longer the first boot device.
It would also be useful to do a Windows-CD feature theft and do the "press any key to boot from CD" thing.
Nice idea. Adopting the "press any key..." feature in unattended would be the smartest solution, I think.
