custom install cd

Does anyone have any documentation about making a custom install cd? I basically want to create a custom cd with pre-built packages (custom CFLAGS and USE variables) and I was going to write some scripts to automate the install. What I'm trying to do is cut down the install time because I need to install gentoo on a lot of servers, and they need to be back up in a short amount of time.

are you saying you want a cd with only the packages and stuff you want? Because that's all available on the mirrors.. I guess I'm confused on the question..
