From my scripts , http://sergiomb.no-ip.org/pungi/confs/

pungi -c f$VER-fedora.ks --destdir=/home/pungi/fedora
--cachedir=/home/pungi/cache --name Fedora --ver $VER --nosource -GC
echo "Gather and Createrepo Done!"

pungi -c f$VER-fedora.ks --destdir=/home/pungi/fedora
--cachedir=/home/pungi/cache --name Fedora --ver $VER --nosource -B


#pungi -c f$VER-fedora.ks --destdir=/home/pungi
--cachedir=/home/pungi/cache --name Fedora --ver $VER --nosource -I
--force

-I option never worked , that why is comment, but  -B do a complete
repo. 
And easily  http://sergiomb.no-ip.org/pungi/respin.repo
with http: or file: you can install fedora in any computer with network.
You can use askmethod , make usb bootable disk, or
http://gofedora.com/how-to-install-fedora-without-cd-dvd/

also works with preupgrade , you just have to make a custom
releases.txt , like http://sergiomb.no-ip.org/pungi/releases.txt
