I do this by creating a fudged .discinfo file containing the following:
1170104239.562016
Fedora 6.90
i386
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15
Fedora/base
/srv/pungi/20070129.1/6.90/Desktop/i386/os/Fedora
Fedora/pixmaps

and then run the following to make an install DVD with all of the packages
currently in core:
#!/bin/sh

publisher="Bruno Wolff III"
release="7"

export FCBASE=`pwd`
arch=`uname -i`
date=`date +%Y%m%d`

mkdir -p $FCBASE/$arch
rsync --archive  $FCBASE/core/ $FCBASE/$arch
repomanage --old i386/Fedora/RPMS | xargs rm -f
cp $FCBASE/.discinfo $FCBASE/$arch

find $arch -name "TRANS.TBL" -exec rm -f {} \;
mkisofs -q -r -R -J -T -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
  -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -boot-info-table \
  -V "FC $release update$date $arch DVD" \
  -A "Fedora Core $release update$date $arch DVD" \
  -publisher "$publisher" -p "$publisher" -x lost+found \
  -o FC-$release-update$date-$arch-DVD.iso $arch

You might also be able to just use the boot.iso and custom repositories,
but I don't know how to do that.
