I've done LFS myself and doing that could be quite instructive. Mind you,
LFS (to the best of my knowledge) is used for building a GNU/Linux based OS
for a particular machine (architecture) only, atleast you would get best
results for that target machine (think using optimizations). I can't help
you with unattended install processes, but as others have pointed out
already, atleast Fedora/Mandriva allow the same. Check their project website
for ideas. For an easy (customizable) live CD building (with installation
support), another option could be slax [slax.org].
I personally dislike binary based distros. I'm currently using Gentoo. There
is a related project (for Gentoo only?) called SCIRE for remote
administration and possibly installation (unsure)?
