Insert bootdisks into the other hosts, configure everything. Configure network. Set installation media to use ftp and then specify an URL which is the address or ip-address of your host with the CD-ROM mounted. Log in as an user cd simply install from: ftp://host/../../../cdrom or something along those lines depending on set-up. Of course, you could also just change /etc/export, NFS mount the cd-rom driver and use the NFS install option.
