Description

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


How to test

  1. Prepare a valid kickstart file
    • A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.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
  2. Copy the updates.img into the images/ directory of the remote installation source you are installing from
  3. Boot the installer while specifying the installation source where the updates.img was published.
  4. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies its content to /tmp/updates/
  2. Anaconda proceeds to stage2 without error
