It is certainly possible, but why would you do that since DVD let alone CDROM drives are so slow...why don't you try it via network using HTTPD or vsFTP...its much quicker and u can make it all automated...something to think about.

Something like (that was for 5.x):
mount $MYISO /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o loop
cp -a /mnt/cdrom /tmp/cdrom
cp ks.cfg /tmp/cdrom/
vim isolinux/isolinux.cfg
default linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg
# Not sure if still need or why: chmod u+w isolinux/*
cd /tmp
mkisofs -o full.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T cdrom
