Hi Robert. That sounds interesting. You might like to
checkout my Auto Linux Installer bash scripts. I wrote these
to automate the installation of Fedora and now have a set
configured to install CentOS 5.5
You may be able to enhance your course and add some more
time to it by using some things from my ALI scripts?
They are designed to install a fresh Fedora/CentOS/RHEL
system, deal with automating service management, and
configure the freshly installed system to use your saved
configuration files - if there are any.

I'm also 3/4 the way writing a tutorial on how to download
and install the latest version of Eclipse 3.6.0 Helios for
PHP programmers, on CentOS 5.5
I have it all working fine, but the howto is not completed
yet.
