This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Now to learn some new tools...

Hi Mark,
We use lorax (in SL) to create the install trees and pungi to create the
media (was in EPEL).
You can host an SL context on the DVD following:

You can also use the attached script to build a DVD.

I'm working on making the jump from SL5 to 7 (skipped over 6). For
SL5 I have a nice shell script that unpacks the official DVD iso,
adds/removes a few packages, rebuilds the repo data, tosses in a
custom syslinux config and kickstart files, and finally builds a
resultant bootable respun iso image.
From a quick search, I found instructions on using revisor for SL6. I
don't see revisor in any of the SL7 repos and don't see updated
information on the website.
I see this "Context" idea, but it seems overkill and (possibly)
network dependent. I want everything to end up right on the install
DVD for easy off-line installation. My existing setup has some
workarounds and kludges to make it work, and would prefer to attempt
to use the modern, accepted method for doing this. Especially for the
EFI booting.
Any help or directional pointing is much appreciated. Pat, is the
toolset used to build the official images available somewhere for
consumption?
