Hugh,

kickstart is another option. Your first anaconda install will place a
kickstart file in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg that you can use to automate the
second install. You can also create a kickstart configuration using the
program /usr/sbin/redhat-config-kickstart which can be launched from
Redhat Menu -> System Tools -> Kickstart

To use it for a new install, you could copy it to a floppy disk and
enter the following at the linux install boot prompt:
linux ks=file:fd0/anaconda-ks.cfg
See this page for another method:
