Thanks for this feedback. I had no success when I was trying to install 
Fedora without a sighted person a few months ago but maybe I'll give it 
another try.

Yes, I know kickstart and I also thought to build my own kickstart 
installation file to get a working system up and running, but the 
scope in my future work will be Puppet and Foreman on already installed 
systems and so I do not want spend to much time on how RHEL can be 
installed. I just wanted to setup a environment based on RHEL, or 
another system similar to Redhat, quickly to start playing around with 
the mensioned tools.

Thanks, that was a good reminder :-).

Lastly I was able to install the latest Centos 7 into a lxc container 
which is possible without any problem without sighted help. My host 
system is Debian Stretch. I think the aproach with lxc is good enough 
for my needs, as said, I just want to learn to setup and configure 
Puppet and take a look at Foreman and this can be done with some lxc 
containers running Centos IMHO.

Yes, full ACK. When access via ssh is possible working with RHEL and 
administrating RHEL based systems should be possible without a problem.

All the best from Munich and thanks for your input :-),
