Partimage can be used to image drives from a networked machine, perhaps that would be a good solution.

have a look at http://slax.linux-live.org/ they have a script avaible to create own live cds based on slackware you could build yourself a little live cd that detects your cards and so on and has a little command line and some tools onboard to perform some installation stuff

You could build your own using LifeBoat as a base:

I've had nothing but bad luck with the scripts at linux-live.org. The ovlfs kernel module is a critical component of these scripts, but it completely doesn't compile on any of my machines. The ovlfs documentation doesn't look like it's been updated in quite a while either.

Instead, you might give http://www.lnx-bbc.org/ a shot.
