There is a script for this, which has been working for me to 
set up ISO images for LTSP, and RHL test installs -- looking 
at it I first published an ancestor of the current scriipt 
externally five years ago.  Looks like I started using it 
before RHL 6 days. See item 6.

Other approaches to hang ISO images for wire installs abound 
as well.  From doco from its upstream:
