FWIW and in case someone is interested, you can use the following kernel parameters to kickstart from network (without pxe - i'd prefer that, but it's not always an option) :
ks= http://X.X.X.X/ks/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=X.X.X.X netmask=255.255.255.0
This, afaik, will not work for the VMs, since the params are passed to libvirt, that can't take files from http/s. Have you actually tried this and it worked?
it'll require you however to have the kernel & initrd.img files - you can get those from the distro cd / iso (even jus the network install) and put them somewhere, doesnt matter - just reference those files in the "kernel path" and "initrd path" and it'll work .. e.g.
kernel path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ] initrd path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img ]

I'm not sure this is blocked for fedora. also, iirc, you can place them on the iso domain, and use an iso:// notation

Thanks, I'll have to try this
