Well, we have also done something like this -- it's actually quite 
trivial after you get to learn how the ISOs are built.  But because 
the updates are constantly appearing, we just install the system using 
FTP from the tree which has been modified to include all the latest 
RPMs.  Much easier than constantly creating and updating ISOs.
