What you're looking for is already available today. Run the Anaconda installer and use http or ftp to do the install over the network. As long as the ftp or http site you use is serving up the latest versions of each rpm you'll have no updating to do after the install. You can create your own collection of rpms that you want to serve to such network installs. This is a very common practice for people that maintain a large number of machines. Cheers, Sean
