Yes, this is Anaconda.  I tried to get pungi to build CentOS 5.2, but it required versions of other packages that only appear in the later Fedoras, so I went back to the old-fashioned way of doing it.

The command you need is buildinstall, from the anaconda-runtime package, which rebuilds the boot images for the CD.  It's... not well documented.  Note that it overwrites some of the files in the isolinux directory, so if you have customised those make sure you have backups.  Come to think of it, make sure you have backups of your build root anyway.  The commands you need will be something like

PATH=/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime:$PATH
buildinstall --comps <path to comps.xml> \
	--version <version> \
	--product <product name> \
	--release <release name> \
	--prodpath <product dir under buildroot e.g. CentOS> \
	</full/path/to/build/root>

It's either the product or release name that gets displayed by the text mode installs.
