Have you tried looking at the redhat kickstart option?  Instruction can be 
found in
'The Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide' at

  You should be able to automate just about everything in the install 
process.  I think
it also gives you the ability to run scripts at the end after the install 
is complete.
