5.3. virt-install

virt-install is a command-line tool for provisioning new virtual machines. It supports both text-based and graphical installations, using serial console, SDL, SPICE, or VNC client-server pair graphics. Installation media can be local, or exist remotely on an NFS, HTTP, or FTP server. The tool can also be configured to run unattended and kickstart the guest when installation is complete, allowing for easy automation of installation. This tool is installed as part of the python-virtinst package.
