Klaasjan,
Do you have the time to write out a mini-howto on that? I have a feeling that your instruction can help a few people following in your footsteps, and who may not have the opportunity to figure out a working solution by themselves.
I believe it's already documented in the RH installation guide. IMO it's not that hard to do: just use the boot floppy and select "hard drive" when asked for installation source. After that you can select a partition and enter the path where the ISO files are.
Me, I need one that can reliably do it from 5000km away. It'll be loop-mounted ISOs, apt-get and similar craziness, I think. Or I need to book a flight. 8-) Either way, I'm not the target audience, but I'm close. ACME@cl says that CL can do it with just apt-get, and that's incredibly interesting.
Creating your own repository is documented all over the net: http://www.dragonsdawn.net/~gordon/red-hat-apt-repository-howto/
