I used syslinux to make mine bootable, using this information:
http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive
But, instead of putting DSL on it, I copied the contents of bootdisk.img
to the flash drive instead.

Use the methods above, then create a kickstart file. You could even make
the installer kick off a VNC session, and connect to it from another
machine. I prefer this over attempting to do a fully automated
install... I've made too many mistakes in kickstart config files and had
it hang waiting for input. :)
