anyway i just create centos-5 install dvd from our kickstart files under
fedora and the result iso almost usable;-)
the problems which imho is not centos specific (since i do it on fedora 7):
- there is a repodata and a ".repodata" dir, but only the second
contains the files and anaconda can't find it.

- for cd kickstart append should have to be:
  "append ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img"
  while it's in the iso:
  "append ks initrd=initrd.img"

- isolinux/isolinux.cfg has duplicate entires (the first one should have
to be deleted) i.e. even if i set to "include kickstart file on
installation media" and "set installer to boot with kickstart by
default" it's not working:
