Not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question--let me know if 
there's a better venue for this.

I'm trying to pass kickstart command-line arguments from virt-install via 
--extra-args.  It's not working.  Here is the virt-install command I'm 
using:

virt-install \
   --name server1 \
   --memory 2048 \
   --vcpus 2 \
   --os-variant "rhel7" \
   --disk path=/dev/guest_images_lvm/fest \
   --hvm \
   --location "nfs:192.168.0.3:/mnt/TANK/software/CentOS/7/BaseInstall" \
   --network bridge=br2 \
   -nographics \
   --extra-args="ks=nfs:192.168.0.3:/mnt/TANK/software/CentOS/7/BaseInstall/ks/ks.DC-VM ip=192.168.0.88::192.168.0.69:255.255.255.0:server1:eth0:none"

This fails with the error:

   virt-install: error: unrecognized arguments:
   ip=192.168.0.88::192.168.0.69:255.255.255.0:server:eth0:none"

I've tried searching the for this error message but can't find any 
references.  Can the --extra-args list have a space character in it?  Is 
that the problem here?

I'm using virt-install version 1.5.0 on CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810.

Thanks,
Carl
