I don't think we really need a template. What i think would be better is a script that we pass a few paramaters to and creates a lvm volume and gets the install started. I guess we could pass to the script the guest name, the size of the logical volume and the distro to install we could keep in in hardcoded things like ram (512mb probably sane can be changed later) and the paths to the distros to install. and have an optional kickstart config path
