the virt command line tools to create the XML (with the PCI addresses

able to get that detailed XML file is to 1) virt-install and let the VM begin the
boot process and then do a 2) virsh dumpxml and then 3) virsh destroy/undefine
that VM, 4) modify the XML and then 5) virsh create ./modified.xml. Is there a cleaner way to do this?</span></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>
<div dir="ltr"><div>It won't do everything you want,
but check out virt-install --print-step --dry-run. This should at least
allow you to get at the XML for the intermediate steps and remove the
