The command line I am using is:

I have never used virt-install or Fedora 15 but, maybe you have to do the same here like when installing RHEL6 using the iso image on a NFS server: In the directory where the ISO is, you have to create a directory called images and put the install.img from the DVD there. For RHEL6.1 the dirlisting looks like this:
[root@blubb i386]# ll -R .: total 3496772 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 19 18:20 images -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 204 May 19 18:13 MD5SUMS -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 218103808 May 12 12:53 rhel-server-6.1-i386-boot.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3066486784 May 13 07:13 rhel-server-6.1-i386-dvd.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 292583424 May 13 15:33 rhel-server-supplementary-6.1-i386-dvd.iso
./images: total 132152 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 135184384 May 11 00:30 install.img
Just a guess but you could give it a try.

I found the problem -- I think I was selecting some *off screen* when tabing to the 'next' button using the GUI installer -- part of the GUI is off screen. (I am forced to use the GUI installer, since the text installer won't install things the way I want to (minimual install, using an ext3 file system). When I just hit return on the boot setup screen, it works (worked) properly. There is something really wrong with either virt-viewer or the FC15 installer -- either virt-viewer is lying about the screen size or the FC15 installer is making dumb assumptions about the monitor size or something like that.
