Yes you can.

Have a look at MSFN forum for Bootable CDs of XP. You can use cdimage to do that.

All other software can be placed on cd. To install it automatically, after XP installs, check the Unattended XP CD guide on MSFN.

Have a look *www.wpiw.net/
It is difficult to make a good Post Installer script. But once done, you just have to insert the disk, start installation of XP and go for lunch, come back and have your desktop ready with all applications installed.

That may be issue, then will have to limit no of applications or move on to DVD.
