Virt-kscfg

From JJBwiki

Here's a sample kickstart (ks) file that will build a minimalistic RHEL5 machine suitable for use with Xen. It's up to you to build your own kickstart server. This ks file assumes the kickstart server is NFS-based (which I recommend). When virt-install prompts you, make the vm size 8GB. See the Virt-install page for details on how to create the vm and launch into a kickstart.
