I often need to install CentOS5 on servers, I do this a lot, so I think I need a respin dist (all updates included).

Nah. Instead, make your kickstart point to both the main repo and the updates repo, and it'll mrge the two and give you a system with the newest packages already installed.

I'm with Matthew. If you do it on the road a lot, pack a laptop with the repos you want, dhcpd, tftp (run BIND too) installed and ready to start, a small switch and a few wires.And, maybe, a DVD and boot cd, just in case.

You can reconfigure as needed in %post and on first boot.
