Vivek's suggestion for disk cloning should work for you since all your systems are identical. the time taken too will reduce drastically.
Curently I am using one imaging software for this. But it takes long time to copy block by block.

I think same problem will come in this also. It will take much time for block by block copy.
Because of this, I thought that it will be better if I can put kernel direclty into installation CD/DVD by following way: 1. Making an ISO of installation DVD. 2. Mount that ISO on one directory. by using "mount -o loop..." 3. Replace the kernel image which will be in for of RPM. 4. I think then I may need to change some xml files or something like that. 5. And reburn that ISO on DVD.
But here I dont know how to replace that kernel and which files need to change so that while installing Yast or in Fedora Anaconda will use new kernel RPM.
