I just finished doing this using RHEL4 as a base. I got the packages all

I've been meaning to write up something too, although my time right now
is limited. I'll be able to answer any questions anyone has though
(hopefully).

As a start, here's some sites I found useful (most are outdated):

http://sysadmin.cs.caltech.edu/docs/help/Linux/rh7.2-ks-cd
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/RedHat-CD-HOWTO/
http://www.harkness.co.uk/other/kickstart.html

Hope these help,
