I used the attached script. Usual warrantee applies - NONE;-0)
#!/bin/bash
# time -p /u02/summer/bin/makerh tmp/redhat-6.1 tmp/RHL6.1 tmp/RHL6.1.iso
# rsh emu tar c -C /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/ site-packages/ | tar
xv -C tmp/redhat-6.1/i386/RedHat/instimage/usr/lib/python1.5/

#
# This script takes about three minutes on my system: PII-233, 7200 RPM HDD if
# source, updates and target are all on the same drive. Possibly, the 'cp"
# commands will need to have -l removed from the options if you have the
# source and updates on different drives from the target. It will also take
# longer;-)
#
# Customisations
# 1 VERSION RedHat Linux version
# 2 BOOT boot image to use on bootable CD
# 3 UPDATES One or more trees of RHL updates. Processed in the order specified
here

# Parameters:
# 1 source directory, defaults to /u03/redhat/${VERSION}}

image for network install
