Sure, what do you want on it?  If you just want to use it to boot into
the installer so you can do a network install, just grab isolinux and
make yourself a CD.

I have one CD that boots all different versions o the installer, for
both i386 and x86_64, and also has memtest86 and various hard drive
diagnostics programs on it.

To boot one of the Red Hat/Fedora installers, all you need is the
vmlinuz and initrd.img files and an entry in isolinux.cfg.  Here's my
FC2 for x86_64 entry:

label ks64-2
   kernel vml642
   append initrd=ird642.img devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216  ksdevice=link ks=http://url.for/kickstart.file
