Hi all,

I have made a patch to virt-install so that it can read default parameters from 
config file if none are provided from the command line (github link is provided 
below).

https://github.com/palli/python-virtinst/commit/0f54c9d6ab5d026546590cffe3d808adf0d234f2

This gives users ability to create site-defaults (like install location, disk 
size, virt-type) without specifying them from the command-line every time.

I think this is a solid feature. In my field i see a lot of virt-install 
powerusers create their own shell-script wrappers for this purpose.

Below is an example of a configuration file that might be well suited for a 
stock rhel/fedora machine.

Kind regards,
Pall Sigurdsson
