I tried to build my own installation iso's with revisor but I never
successed (some problems with creating an iso after downloading all
needed packages).

Maybe your way is better. But it still requires a machine with Fedora
and some time to download packages, create ks files and other stuff.
It's a bit to tricky for me - I newer successed with GUI tool - it's
far more complex than kernel building ;). I installed a few systems
from net install iso, but it's PITA when you have only 1Mb/s internet
connection.
