Description

This test verifies installation using the HTTP(or FTP)-based install repository works by repo=. See Anaconda/Options for information on supported boot options.


How to test

  1. Boot the installer using any available means (netinst.iso, pxeboot images or DVD.iso)
  2. Direct anaconda to use the package repo from a HTTP(or FTP) server by adding the boot command:
    • For HTTP:
      repo=http(s)://<host>/<path>
    • For FTP:
      repo=ftp://<host>/<path>
    • Configure the proxy in need as:
      proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port]
    • Example: Use
      repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/40/i386/os/ 
  3. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda uses the package repository from the HTTP(or FTP) server provided.
  2. Install completes successfully
  3. Package errors (install.log) should not occur
  4. System boots successfully
