We used a highly classified, top secret method ... I could tell you, but
then I would have to kill you :-)

Actually ... I did tell you ... we used buildinstall

Which basically does what Jeroen van Meeuwen said ... then you write the
directories created by splittree to ISO using mkisofs.

pungi (as it is in fedora7/8/9) will not work as anaconda is not correct
in RHEL4/5 (and therefore not in CentOS either).
