$ sudo virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n xp1 \
-r 512 -f xp1.qcow2 -s 12 -c xp.iso --vnc \
--noautoconsole --os-type windows --os-variant winxp
FYI, the reason you didn't end up with a kvm guest with
this command is because you didn't pass the --accelerate
flag. It's unfortunate that back compatibility prevents us
from just defaulting to kvm, but that's the way it goes :(
