no it wont. try it, really.

at buildtime a timestamp and a session stamp are inserted into both ends
of the side for a network install. unless they match - you cant install
anything. you cant even use a boot.iso from a different build cycle
against a different tree, even in the same arch...

so, umm.. how did you achieve this :)
