As it happens I was respinning Fedora 7 when I checked back here! Yes, it would appear that rebuilding the whole distro solves the problem, but I can't help thinking that I'm using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
This is i386, but I'll need to respin the x86_64 version too at some point (I have over 150 i386 boxes to reimage in the next few months - mostly with e1000 cards - and 30+ x86_64 boxes arriving shortly). I'll keep checking for a simple solution, but until then it's good to know there's *A* solution out there!
I've set up the kickstart installation to use the DVD.
I PXE boot, load the kickstart file from an http server, do the actual install from a local DVD.
Net access in the %post section seems to work for some unknown reason, at least I can do an NFS mount and transfer files.
But you'll need to visit every machine and insert the F7 DVD.
