Hi Sandeep:
  According to "man virt-install":
  Specifying a non-existent path implies attempting to create the new storage, and will require specifyng a 'size'(in GB) value.
  so you can add size in your command, like this:
virt-install -n test.example.com -r 1024 --disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/test.com.img,size=6 -l ftp://10.131.0.100/pub/os -x
ks="ftp://10.131.0.100/pub/ks.cfg" 
 or :
virt-install -n test.example.com -r 1024 -f /var/lib/libvirt/images/test.com.img -s 6 -l ftp://10.131.0.100/pub/os -x
ks="ftp://10.131.0.100/pub/ks.cfg"
