I have local headless machine and I am wondering what tool(s) would be best for automating hard drive partitioning and Linux installation over USB or local network. What I would like to accomplish is preconfiguration or preseeding, but without using distribution-specific tools.
The tools I have considered thus far are Kickstart/preseed, Ansible, Packer, Cobbler, and Foreman. Another tool I've heard mentioned is RackHD. I really like the elegance of Packer, but it appears to only support VM image creation, though there are hacks around this, and hard drive partitioning seems to not be supported. Thus far, preseeding with an answer file and post-install script seems to be the only practical solution. However, it seems inefficient to invest time learning distribution-specific tooling.
