As a follow-up to my post on installing centos 6x using KVM, I have since had the need to install a winXP ISO on my KVM host. I had to play with the commands a bit before hitting upon the right mix, so here it is:
virt-install --name=vm_xp --ram=512 --vcpus=1,cores=1 \ --disk path=/opt/vm_xp.img,size=4 --network bridge=br0 \ -c /opt/en_winxp_pro_sp3.iso --os-variant winxp --os-type windows --hvm \ --graphics vnc,password=1234,port=5905,listen=192.168.2.10
