Custom Boot CD

I'm looking to make a boot CD with XP SP2 on it, but at the same time, I want it to have a bunch of programs pre-installed, similar to what the Restore CDs you'd get from someone like Dell or Compaq have. Is this possible? Is BartPE the program I want? If it is, does it allow me to make the XP install placed on the hard drive, as in, install winxp with a bunch of programs at the same time?

Thanks for any help!
