Installing Vista Home basic with Home Premium DVD

If I buy a Laptop with Vista Home Basic and then reformat the hard drive (to
get rid of any unwanted utilities), can I then install Vista Home Basic by
using an OEM Home Premium DVD but entering the licence number of the
original Home Basic?

(It will be a bit frustrating if the OEM DVD does not contain a driver for
the laptop network!)

Is there an equivalent of the Linux 'Live CD's for Vista. i.e. a CD that
you can boot from and then complete an installation via an Internet
connection?
