Would a Live DVD fit the purpose?

Fedora 8 Developer Live DVD has all these. More information at

If you want to make customizations to create a live cd or adjust the 
contents, you can do that in Fedora 8

# yum install livecd-tools

Look at the kickstart files in /usr/share/livecd-tools. You can create 
live cd/dvd's or bootable USB images easily. Refer
