Are you, and the environment the box will be placed, ready for network boot ?
If so, it's the simplest.
The other extreme, if you must use full standalone, is like this :
o build your own release ('make release').
o repackage 'bin' and 'crypto' directories in ftp directory of the release
to trim the size (disk requirement will go well below 20mb).
o using this release, do 'minimum' install using ftp or nfs.
With whopping 100mb given, there are many schemes in between (say boot
from disk, nfs mount /usr and others).
