I expect it will be something like seen here: https://wiki.debian.org/KVM?highlight=%28os-variant%29 'virt-install' takes an '--os-variant' argument. The known values of that argument are queried by an 'osinfo-query' command. $ osinfo-query os | awk -e '/debian/ {print $1}' debian1.1 debian1.2 debian1.3 debian10 debian2.0 debian2.1 debian2.2 debian3 debian3.1 debian4 debian5 debian6 debian7 debian8 debian9 debiantesting $ cat /etc/debian_version 11.2 $ dpkg -S osinfo-query libosinfo-bin: /usr/bin/osinfo-query libosinfo-bin: /usr/share/man/man1/osinfo-query.1.gz $ apt list --installed libosinfo-bin Listing... Done libosinfo-bin/stable,now 1.8.0-1 amd64 [installed] I just use '--os-variant debiantesting' until someone gives better advice.
