Yes, this is doable. Both RedHat and SuSE have taken the liberties of 
creating ISO filesystem images of their distributions and made them
available for download. You can use almost any cd-burning software to
write this ISO image directly to this disk and have a bootable linux
installation. The two images that I am aware of are the SuSE 6.0
evaluation image available at ftp.cc.gatech.edu:pub/linux/distributions/suse/
and the redhat 6.0 image available at
ftp.cc.gatech.edu:pub/linux/distributed/redhat/

hope this helps
