As an addendum to Cole's above comment:

If it's any useful, here's how I trigger my f19 installs:
===========
virt-install --connect=qemu:///system \
    --network=bridge:br0 \
    --initrd-inject=/export/fed-minimal.ks \
    --extra-args="ks=file:/fed-minimal.ks console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200" \
    --name=$domname \
    --disk /export/vmimgs/$domname.img,size=20,cache=none \
    --ram 2048 \
    --vcpus=2 \
    --check-cpu \
    --accelerate \
    --cpuset auto \
    --os-type linux \
    --os-variant fedora18 \
    --hvm \
    --location=/path/to/f19/tree \
    --nographics
===========

-> contents of fed-minimal.ks
===========
install
text
reboot
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --bootproto dhcp
rootpw testpwd
firewall --enabled --ssh
selinux --enforcing
timezone --utc America/New_York
bootloader --location=mbr --append="console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200 rd_NO_PLYMOUTH"
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
autopart

%packages
@core
%end
===========

I was asked this question a couple of times - If a user doesn't provide --os-variant the
correct one (for recent Fedoras..), will it screw up their install. Maybe we should note
it somewhere.
