You can probably use FAI to do this sort of thing. You need a
(networked) server, and you just boot off a floppy, the kernel is
fetched from the server (TFTP), everything is configured, and off you
go. It's not particularly user friendly, and it's not particularly
useful in non-networked environments.
The other obvious solution: remaster Knoppix to your liking
(easy-ish), start knoppix, and install on HD. Repeat. Repeat. Cuppa
tea. Repeat. :-).
Other than that, RH (well, anaconda) used to come with the ability
to install one computer and have a floppy (I think) that allowed easy
non-interactive installation in multiple machines?
Best luck
