This would be part of the "ZipDrake" thing but would be good for shotgun installs. Is it possible to install just the file tree and the basic stuff from a Mandrake cd? maybe an idea would be to have a tarball with just the init 1-3 stuff and the command line rpm tool you could at that point use a Curses based LILO/GRUB install /set root password / create a user and password combo and be done. maybe you could also sneak a Curses based Second stage installer on the disk.
