Making linux boot CD - at installation time itself- possible?

| Hi All,
At the completion of installation of any distro, we have an option to
make a
boot floppy. Floppy being an unreliable medium, is it possible to make
a
boot CD or boot USB disc at the end of installation? Do any of the
latest
distros provide this option?
My friend is having WinXP. To make it dual boot, I want this so that I
can
install boot loader in the first sector of boot partition and reboot
and
enter into linux (through this boot CD/USB and not boot floppy) and
make
arrangement for dual boot by copying first 512 bytes of boot sector and
copying it in Windows and modifying boot.ini file.
Pl help

If you have installed from a cd, that cd is also a rescue cd and a boot
cd.
When the cd boots, ctrl+alt+f2, that will give you a minimal shell.
