Best bet (what we settle on here):  make a cookie-cutter /etc
tar it up, and after a normal install, ftp it into /
mv /etc /etc.old
untar the new /etc

You can creat a tar file with all the other files (mostly /usr/local)
to add aftter that.

You only need custom installation for modified kernel settings and/or
device drivers. I'm still trying to figure out how to do this one :-)
