Steps to make iso (everything in su) :-

First execute dnf -y install genisoimage isomd5sum. Now begin :-

Download https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/27/Workstation/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-27-1.6.iso into your working directory.
mkdir /mnt/iso
mount -t iso9660 -o loop path/to/image.iso /mnt/iso
mkdir ISO
cp -pRf /mnt/iso ISO/
umount /mnt/iso
mkdir -p product/usr/share/
git clone https://github.com/amahi/anaconda-addon.git
cp anaconda-addon/isolinux.cfg ISO/iso/isolinux/ && cp anaconda-addon/grub.cfg ISO/iso/EFI/BOOT/

Note - isolinux.cfg is for BIOS bootmenu and grub.cfg is for UEFI bootmenu. Both file contain the following lines beside every option:-

a) inst.ks=hd:LABEL=Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-27:/ks.cfg (to execute the kickstart file saved in installation directory)

b) inst.updates=hd:LABEL=Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-27:/amahi.img (to load amahi.img saved in installation directory, where anaconda addon is saved. We will tell you that how you can create this file later.)
cp -f anaconda-addon/ks.cfg ISO/iso/ #change $releasever in url --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch to version number of Fedora installing, in ks.cfg file
chmod +x anaconda-addon/anaconda/addons/org_amahi_setup/hda-install-script.sh && chmod +x anaconda-addon/anaconda/addons/org_amahi_setup/amahi_message && cp -r anaconda-addon/anaconda anaconda-addon/icons product/usr/share/ && cp -r anaconda-addon/lib64 product/usr
cd product/ && find . | cpio -c -o | gzip -9cv > ../amahi.img #this will create amahi.img file where addon is saved
mv -f ../amahi.img ../ISO/iso
cd ../ISO/iso
genisoimage -U -r -v -T -J -joliet-long -V "Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-27" -volset "Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-27" -A "Fedora-WS-dvd-x86_64-27" -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -e images/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot -o ../'Amahi Express Install Disc 11.iso' . && implantisomd5 ../'Amahi Express Install Disc 11.iso' #your iso will be in path/to/ISO folder. Now boot it and enjoy.

Note - in org_amahi_setup/ks/amahi_setup.py :-

Check execute(self, storage, ksdata, instclass, users, payload): function

from where all commands get executed after installion.

lib64/python3.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/installclass.py is for setting ```Geolocation=True`` for changing language automatically.

Booting into ISO :-

Select your language.
On next screen, select your TimeZone, Keyboard.
Boot into the FEDORA initially for automatic server Setup. FEDORA will reboot automatically after Amahi Server gets setup.
Have a cup of coffee. :)
