It is possible to create your own using mock/pungi
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.
- I have been doing
this for several years now - two big advantages for me are that I can
remove all the locale stuff for languages I don't need, thus reducing
the final iso size by quite a margin, and also can add packages that
are not on the original iso as well as producing an up to date DVD
install iso that needs minimal yum updates if used soon after building
it. I do a rebuild just before installing on my machines - so if it
will be another month before installing on the next machine then I
rebuild again just before that. You do need access to a fast mirror
(or your own mirror) to get the new rpms - but the build process
itself only takes about half an hour on a moderate capability machine.
The basic recipe was detailed on this very list in the past year if
you look back/search the list.
