Create a USB install thumb drive with the ISO on it, from an installed system loop mount the iso file read/write, overwrite the anaconda.ks with the custom one, umount, then the next install should use the custom anaconda.ks.

Use the wiki to find out how to create a USB install, author ISO files and custom kickstarts.

If it really must be by DVD then you'll need to burn the modified ISO.
