Darren,

I create one small ISO that supports network installs for RHEL3 (x86,
x86_64), RHEL4 (x86_64), FC4 (x86), and contains DSL 1.5 for recovery
or just booting from a live CD. Take a look at
http://rose.public.iastate.edu/MEDUSA/README.txt and if that looks
like what you had in mind I can send you some details about how I
create this ISO. (Note: this ISO only works within our IP space for
network installs using the preconfigured network install targets, but
by adding the appropriate method could work elsewhere).
