Hello, I will suggest slow down a bit.
You should automate something that you know it words and ideally you have done it properly. We know packer works so is not a packer issues, is "how I do xxx with packer", but the issue in reality is "how do i xxx" My suggestion will be do this first without packer, and then give a shot to packer, you will learn about the process and you will able to move faster. 1. Manual install Create a new VM on vmware, put the iso on it, do a instalattion, end with a VM you can login with user and password you want. 2. First try with kickstart Take /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file as example for an installer, review commented section around disk partition, replace password with a non-scripted one, comment out the current one. If there is a line that say shutdown in the ks, replace it with reboot. put this kickstart in some webserver in your network Create a new VM map the iso edit the boot like to add at the end ks=http:// <someserver>/<somepath>/ks.cfg wait to see if your vm install 100% un-attended, and its waiting for lognin login with user/pass shutdown the VM 3. First packer VM use this kickstart as IS, no extra changes in packer, get a basic VM that does nothing other than install. When you have a working paker installation move 1 change at the time.
