You could, if you like torture.  :-)  Though seriously, it would work.  
It just wouldn't be full of up-to-date software.

For non-standard (e.g., RAID or very complex LVM setups) I usually 
install the system one way, and then modify it post-installation. It 
just works out better than trying to trust that the programmers got 
everything right.

At least, for OS installers in general.

It seems to hold true with the RH family, though, too.
