I have considered the kickstart approach, but got frustrated with the dependencies and since most of my boxes are utilized for different purposes, I usually do a minimal install (usually requires just disk1&2), and then use up2date to add anything else I need. Unfortunately minimal is not nearly the minimal it used to be. I get the fact that they want to provide a "standard" set of installed apps across all systems, but I miss "select individual packages". The fact that CUPS is a requirement in a minimal install for a server is preposterous IMHO.
has anyone heard anything about the possibility of a rhel 3/4 dvd? it
would be so much nicer to have one per distro instead of 4 per... i mean
heck.. they have a "Documentation DVD" and Fedora comes in DVD form.
Check out this thread, including a link to scripts to create your own install DVD if you're so inclined:

Also I highly recommend kickstart over multi-cd installs.
