When you install RedHat it usually creates a kickstart file "anaconda-ks.cfg" in the "/root" directory.
If you copy this off to a floppy, you should be able to use it to re-install with the same settings.

Not quite... reinstall with the same packages... and this requires the use of the RH CD as well. A step more would be to tarzip your /etc, /usr/local/etc and other modified conf files so that you can reinstall them easily.
Another idea is -- if you have a small enough harddrive or a loarge enough storage usit you could move a whole image of the drive to the storage media using mkiso, dd or other tools.
