Hi, this seems like a bug indeed. You're not missing a dependency, koan now just shells out a commandline that uses the virt-install binary, which is also in the python-virtinst package. You can see the command line before the usage is printed. The problem is that the RHEL5 version does not support the --boot parameter. It should actually use -l for the install location and -x for the kickstart imho. An additional flag in the if not virtinst_version part could be used for that. I suggest creating an issue on gh.
