I don't think we really need a template. What i think would be better is a script that we pass a few paramaters to and creates a lvm volume and gets the install started.
I guess we could pass to the script the guest name, the size of the logical volume and the distro to install we could keep in in hardcoded things like ram (512mb probably sane can be changed later) and the paths to the distros to install.
and have an optional kickstart config path
Yeah I'd have to agree with this in an LVM environment. I'd always used templates but I also typically use xen with actual files on the filesystem. On second thought it may not work as well with a LVM setup :(
I'm removing the template because it is quick and easy enough to do a regular xenguest-install. Plus, we should be testing the installer often anyway. =)
