You must change the installer too. I had to do that when making customised RH distributions for my clients. You basically replace the RH graphics in the installer with your own graphics and remove the Red Hat name wherever it occurs.
I *think* you also have to remove the bluecurve package since it contains RH trademarked information. Not sure about that one, though.
Anyway, making an RH distro trademark-free isn't exactly trivial, but it isn't rocket science either. Needs some work.
