 In order to automate most of the test cases in the installation test plan,
 we need to be able to pass custom kickstart commands to a newly-created
 virt guest.

Comment (by liam):

 We can put the custom kickstart commands in a ks file,then pass them to
 virt-guest with either of this way:

 1. use virt-instal ----extra-args ks=xx/ks.cfg --location to create a VM
 to pass to guest kernel
 2. use dogtail to pass remote ks file: ks=server/to/ks.cfg to guest kernel
 3. use dogtail to pass local ks file: ks=path/to/ks.cfg to guest kernel,
 this method will need to create a extra disk to upload ks file, this disk
 will be detected in guest as vdb1

 do we have other method to pass kickstart commands? if no, close this
 ticket?

 I recommend keeping this ticket open until the changes are merged into
 master.
