New to list. I couldn't find a searchable archive of this ML, so apologies if this has been asked before (feel free to flame me, but please include a pointer to where I can find the answer). I've been looking at KVM virtualisation recently. I want to use it on a hosted server without X installed, and I want to be able to create new (Linux) guests from the command line. virt-install lets me kick off an installation, but everything I've tried so far needs a graphical terminal of some sort to carry out the text-based (Debian Lenny) installation. Once the installation is complete, I can use 'virsh' to connect to the serial console and that works fine. I suspect the key is in virt-install's '--nographics' option, but I can't seem to connect to the console to carry out the installation after using that option. Can anyone shed some light? (Just to be clear: I want to do everything via an ssh session, so no VNC, etc).
