Linux Distribution?

I know how to install Fedora 2 Core (RedHat) and configure (Apache, Perl, MySQL, and php) manually. But I was wondering if someone new of a barebones install of these products much like http://www.foxserv.net is doing for the Wintel based install.

I'm Trying to determine if there is already a unattended install of these items. I want a minimal install only installing the base linux kernal and system management tools.

Thanks in advance.

I think it is called PHP Triad and it's available from sourceforge

I dont think phptriad will do anything other than install php, apache and mysql over an existing OS install.

When installing fedora you can do a manual or advanced install and pick the things you want installed. Clearly this isnt an unattended method but once you have this install done you can then use something like ghost to make an image of the load. Given device driver differances the image then would only be good for systems of the exact same makeup.

I know that products like ghost and driveimage works on ext3 file partitions but I have found performance lost because of disk defragmentation when doing it.

I know I could manually go through and select the items that I require but I only want the core and (php, perl, mysql, and apache only) installed.

PHP Triad is for windows and I'm really looking for a linux solution.
