Hmm, come to think of it, I've never actually done an ftp install with kickstart. But I'm sure that it can be done... check the docs for kickstart, I'm sure that it would simply be a matter of specifying the ftp:// URL in the ks.cfg file. (I don't have the doc cdrom handy right now to check this for myself). NFS is way, way better though... and almost trivial to set up on any linux box. (Same with the dhcpd/bootp needed for a network install). (I found that customising install images -- apart from putting in any updates and generating a new hdlist file with genhdlist -- was too much effort to bother with, especially when it needs to be done for each new redhat release. Kickstart is much easier to hack and re-hack, and allows you to do the customisations in one place, despite what's in the actual install image. But I guess if you want to create a "slim" 1-cdrom rh7.0 install disk solution, that's quite different). Good luck.
