Don't you already have this in some form from firstboot?  It asks if you
want to install other packages from other CDs.  I have never looked at
what kind of format the other CDs need to be in for it to deal happily
with it.  Possibly a simple extension from that would be all that is
needed.  If course, being able to just point it to a website/yum repo/
nfs location would be nice too.
