May I add my question to yours?
I certainly do not mind, but the answers might be technically different. If your custom kernel is packaged as an rpm, I think it is the same question. If it consists of just the compiled vmlinuz and modules, it might be more difficult because the installer installs everything with rpm. Let's see what others say though.

I see where people do this sort of thing but I am not so disenchanted with my occasional periods of tranquility to try it myself. What I gather:
You will need to generate hdlists at some point with genhdlist, part of rpmtools.
You will need to make the isos with mkcd, from the program of the same name.
There is a README.MakeCD in the misc/ directory of the cooker tree and the RedHat-CD-HOWTO, which is here in rc1:
file:/usr/share/doc/HOWTO/HTML/en/Linuxs-20030211/RedHat-CD-HOWTO/index.html
Also, less /usr/share/doc/mkcd-3.4.2/README
