You will want to look at this site 
http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/AnacondaDocumentationProject 
and 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/part-install-info.html.

In general, what you can do here 
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ can 
be automated with a kickstart file--it just fills in all the screen 
prompts for you.  A kickstart file is created of an install in the /root 
users home directory.  That can be the basis for other scripts.  Your 
knowledge of scripting languages and Linux can be leveraged to create a 
very sophisticated install script.

I hope that gets you started.
