Description
This test will verify that anaconda can download and apply a updates.img
that is inside the remote installation source without extra input from the user. For help preparing updates.img
, see Anaconda/Updates
How to test
- Prepare a local installation source by mirroring an existing online source.
- Make the installation source accessible over one of the supported network protocols (HTTP, FTP, NFS).
- Prepare a valid
updates.img
file. A suggested approach is to create a dummyupdates.img
with an empty file:mkdir /tmp/updates dd if=/dev/zero of=updates.img bs=1k count=1440 mke2fs updates.img mount -o loop updates.img /tmp/updates touch /tmp/updates/TESTING123 umount /tmp/updates
A prebuilt
updates.img
is also available for download. - Copy the
updates.img
into theimages/
directory of your local installation source - Boot the installer using the
inst.repo=
option at boot directing to the modified installation source where theupdates.img
was published. See Anaconda/Options for information on supported boot options. - Proceed with installation
Expected Results
- Anaconda prepares the
updates.img
and copies its content to/tmp/updates/
. To confirm this, check for the presence of the file/tmp/updates/TESTING123
. - Anaconda proceeds without error
