I've (just today) achieved this using virt-manager, built on top of libvirt, for centos guests at least, defining a mirror URI for the kernel and initrd images, and a kickstart URL, having written a kickstart script for anaconda and stored it on a webserver ahead of time. <http://virt-manager.et.redhat.com/> virt-manager is packaged in Debian/Ubuntu too. I haven't built any Debian/Ubuntu VMs yet, but I would basically do the same thing but using debconf preseeding for automated Debian installations. -- Jon Dowland
