Here is an article which describes how to do this with a kickstart file:
  http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/08/19/kickstart.html

This example hosts the kickstart file on a HTTP server.  However you can
load the kickstart file from the CD or from a floppy.  You can use a
Fedora Core mirror server as the "install tree" for your kickstart file.

Red Hat 9 Customization Guide explains kickstart and custom boot CDs:

You're not using YUM?
