My Strategy for those things is:

1.
cobbler ( https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/ ) for a minimal Unattended 
Installation. cobblers primary goal is installation over Network but it 
can also generate CD/DVD. cobbler integrates kickstart files into your CD.

2.
puppet ( http://reductivelabs.com/products/puppet/ ) for central 
configuration management.
