Alex,

I would highly recommend investing some time in setting up a kickstart
environment (we use it with NFS, but you could use any other supported
method). This way you could script unattended installs and do not have
to click on every damn button on the screen :)

With the repo RPMS fully up-to date, working pxegrub (beware of e1000)
and properly configured kickstart file setting up a desktop ready to use
right after install takes 20 minutes (well, in my case it is even less,
but I am trying to protect myself from being called a liar :)

Take care,
Alex
