Take a look at Revisor.

Create a kickstart file (with system-config-kickstart) which you think 
has the best settings and packages, then (on the command-line) specify 
"--kickstart-include" and "--kickstart-default", or check the 
appropriate boxes in the GUI.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me off-list.

We have a proposed feature for Fedora 10 which needs feedback on what 
exactly a OEM install for Fedora should look like (someone was supposed 
to send me a little something but I haven't received anything yet):

This would also be included in the Kickstart Pool at
