Oz is a bit different from most others in that it actually spawns a VM to do an install, while most other tools simply use a loopback mounted filesystem. BoxGrinder would probably be your next choice on Fedora. BoxGrinder uses python-imgcreate, but wraps it in a bunch of ruby code where some of the postinstall image tweaking happens. (Personally, I use ami-creator, which is a tiny python script that just subclasses from python-imgcreate and implements a few functions to do the necessary tweaks... no need for ruby here.)
