If you mean with expect, it's not, if you have a lot of machines and don't have consoles wired up. If you mean that it shouldn't take much coding time to make sysinst take a control file, I agree. Centos has a mechanism where you can put a script file that essentially answers the installation questions. I'm fuzzy on the details, but you can put this file in the server that you pxeboot from and cause the installation to be almost entirely automated, with your custom choices. I don't see any reason why sysinst couldn't do something similar.
