Hi,

I'd recommend two possibilities: to create a bootable image or to
prepare a kickstart file.

1. To create a disaster recovery image you can use mkCDrec:
http://mkcdrec.ota.be/ --- simply by using the make command, you create
a bootable CD/DVD in order to restore the system on another machine.

2. To prepare a kickstart file it takes more time, but it is very
flexible and powerful solution. You can provide non-interactive
installation and configuration with this mechanism. See RH Installation
Guide for details:
