I think the key here may be "headless". The script at [1] works for me (I use it all the time) and uses *--graphics none* on the virt-install command line. Be sure to read through the script before using it. You'll also need to create a seed iso for cloud-init user-data. -Dusty [1] - https://gist.github.com/dustymabe/b4d9a95eee3ff187e916
