The RedHat installer, anaconda IIRC, does this. During an install you can

--root /mnt/sysimage' when it processes the rpms. You should be able to
use the kickstart file that was produced when you did the original redhat
install to recreate your environment.
Based on all the responses (which I greatly appreciate,thanks) from the list I think I have an idea how to make this work. This response being the second to last piece I needed. The only question I have left is: how does one run the RH installer "anaconda" on a live system without booting to the install floppy or cdrom? Can one just mount one of the ramdisk images somewhere and run ./anaconda? Could it be that easy?
Thanks,
