[CentOS] Creating floppy image without root permissions?

Hello All:

I've recently had to provision some RHEL and CentOS VMWare instances. There was no network connectivity so I had to use a kickstart floppy and DVD iso rather than installing from our repository. To create the floppy I used the following:

As root: dd if=/dev/zero of=floppy.flp bs=1k count=360 mkfs.vfat floppy.flp mount -o loop floppy.flp /mnt/floppy cp base_kickstart.ks /mnt/floppy/ks.cfg umount /mnt/floppy

It works, but now I need to automate the process and have to do with without root access. Is there a way to create a floppy iso with a single file without root access? I looked at fuseiso, but it appears that it still requires some root permissions.
