  Or better, setup a local mirror using
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/CreateLocalMirror

  Then create your CentOS DomU with something like:

virt-install --name=<VMName> --vnc --vncport=59xx --noautoconsole
--paravirt --ram=512 --vcpus=1 --network=bridge:<network bridge device>
--file=<virtual disk device> --location=<mirror URL> --os-type=linux
--os-variant=rhel5 --extra-args="xencons=tty noipv6"
