I'm just installing new RHEL5 machines doing this. Takes ~4 minutes.

# virt-install \
--name=myvm \
--ram=1000 \
--file=/dev/Vol_LVM/vm05 \
--network=bridge:virbr0 \
--vnc \
--paravirt \
--location=http://server.com/redhat5as_install/  \
-x ks=http://server.com/redhat5as_install/ks.cfg

Where:
- ï/dev/Vol_LVM/vm05 its one LVM device with 20 GB
- ks.cfg:
