Hi,
I am trying to install kali-linux-2022.4-installer-amd64.iso (https://www.kali.org/downloads/) using KVM virt-install tool

I did not find kali OS details to provide an option for --os-variant= When I ran osinfo-query os | grep kali. It did not return anything.
Any help will be highly appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Kaushal
