This page:

mentions only the one XDMCP CD - look for PXES.

Hope that helps.

Alternatively, if your laptop is PXE enabled, it might be worth considering 
setting LTSP which is not half as hard as you might presume.

I even installed SUSE 10.1 using this method on a laptop with no working 
floppy nor CD drive yesterday!
