The best way to install on a new computer is using the installer which
will do the lifting.
mkinitrd, dd and all of the other programs have usage for certain
tasks. Installation duplication is not really something that I would
attempt.
There are other tools which allow you to make customized installation
media which are part of the distribution. You might investigate these
programs to fulfill your interest in reducing the installation
followed by massive updates if the released media for Fedora 7 was used.
You could also save the downloaded rpms from previous installations
and make local repos to reduce repeated downloading the updates.
I doubt these programs are defective. They are not really designed for
some of the creative usages which you are attempting to do.

Like all tools Jim you need to know how to use them. I do not.
