I was restricting myself to RH based distros due to the original post's

Knoppix: use standard distro, boot, pop up root shell (there's a menu entry
for that) and run either knoppix-installer or knx-hdinstall. I just tried
them from Knoppix-STD (Security Tools Distro) and they worked flawlessly on
some old hardware on which I had just installed Fermi Lab's Scientific Linux
(side-by-side installation).
I'm sure the other Knoppix Knock-offs also have an hdinstall program.
As a sysadmin and a control freak I preferred knx-hdinstall, FWIW. It's also
more polished in terms of auto-detection and flexibility.
