Description

This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested updates.img file using a HTTP url. For help preparing an updates.img, refer to Anaconda/Updates


How to test

  1. Prepare a valid kickstart file and copy to a httpd server accessible by your installation
    • A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.img with a 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
    

    2. 

  2. Boot the installer while specifying the http URL for the updates image.  For example updates=http://rhe.fedorapeople.org/install/updates.img
    3. 

  3. Proceed with installation


Expected Results


  1. Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies it's content to /tmp/updates/
    2. 

  2. Anaconda proceeds to stage2 without error
