Description
This test will verify that anaconda can load an updates.img from removable media. Note, this test needs removable media for storing an updates.img (USB storage or floppy disk). Additional information on using an updates.img can be found at Anaconda/Updates.
How to test
- Prepare a valid
updates.imgfile. See this page for image creation instructions. A good thing to change in theupdates.imgis the "What language would you like to use during the installation process?" text inpyanaconda/iw/language_gui.py, as this text is displayed on one of the first screens. - Copy the
updates.imgto your removable media - Insert the removable drive (USB key or floppy disk)
- Boot the installer with the boot argument:
updates=hd:LABEL=(label):/updates.imgorupdates=hd:UUID=(UUID):/updates.img, where label is the label of the partition or UUID is its UUID (so if the stick had the label KINGSTON, you'd putupdates=hd:LABEL=KINGSTON:/updates.img
Expected Results
- Anaconda prepares the
updates.imgand copies its content to/tmp/updates/. Any changes you included in the updates.img file are applied - Anaconda proceeds without related errors
