To answer your question about the most desirable goal, I guess it is something like this: we provide a kickstart file that lists the CentOS repos and our own repo, with the "base" and "core" package groups selected (plus our own packages listed too), and then we use a tool to then download all the required packages (but no more), and compose them onto an anaconda-based install CD.
I guess I have just described pungi there - and maybe that is our answer. But I have yet to find a report of someone using pungi to rebuild C6, and pungi is not included in RHEL/CentOS and isn't in EPEL either. I'd welcome your input on the best way to achieve this.
Would the revisor tool from Scientific Linux work to spin CentOS? http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/build/sites
