Preparing Kickstart file is a good idea.
How about running a post installation script in the kickstart file. We have
done this a lots on time in FC*. The process should be something like this,
1. Build a default kickstart file that will install all the required
packages for all the ser components.
2. The kickstart file have an option to run a post installation script.
3. Now we need to have one zip file of all the components we want to install
related to ser. (ser, werbwer, sems, sipp, sppsak etc). That file can be
placed either on the CDs or can be downloaded from somewhere. All the
components can be packaged in the one zip file of they can be downloaded
separately.
4. The script can be interactive.
BTW I have a small postinstallation shell script like that, and I can share
that.

g-)
Something like taking a kickstart file and making an installable livecd
from it (something similar to the LiveCD berlios project). I don't KNOW
of one that works to create installable ISOs in CentOS, but I'm sure
there must be... somewhere... maybe....?
