OK this is the easy part as it is exceedingly easy to modify the install 
scripts and add extra package selections. In my own installs I have already 
ripped out the games anyway. They are not even on the custom iso's I make.

Parts 2 and 3 are more or less related and will be more work. More or less it 
would be a matter of setting up the linux box to do a standard connection 
sharing thing right during install. This will automatically set it up to have 
an external ip and an internal ip with dhcp running. It would also have the 
added benefit of having a firwall blocking outside access. If that was not 
wanted then it is easy enough to change those settings.

Thanks this should not be to hard I will need to poke through the mandrake 
config files and see if they have an easy way to modify the install to allow 
for external scripts to run.  I would imagine this is the case though since 
the whole installer is written in perl(yuck). I wish it was python like 
redhats installer.
