If you want to automate installs the best way is to use the virt-install
command line tool instead of virt-manager.  This lets you give command
line args to specify all the desired install arguments & lets you do
more advanced configs not possible in the virt-manager wizard (eg multiple
network cards)

virt-manager simply calls into the virt-install APIs anyway, so anything
you can do with virt-manager can be done with virt-install.

Regards,
Dan.
