I know this doesn't answer your question, but I have used Kickstart/Anaconda for
Red Hat to make my own custom install CD. Six minutes from boot time to working
Advanced Server 3 box. Pretty cool when you've got several identical machines
to setup.

The main problem I ran into was the lack of decent documentation. I've attempted
to add to the body of knowledge here http://insipid.com/RHOneCD.pdf.

One of these days, I'd like to get the PXE boot working. This is more akin to
Sun's Jumpstart, or so I hear.
