Description
This test case verifies that installing using an NFS installation repository works by repo=. See Anaconda/Options for information on supported boot options.
How to test
- Boot the installer using any available means (
netinst.iso, pxeboot images orDVD.iso) - Direct anaconda to use the package repo from a NFS server by adding
repo=boot command. For example:repo=nfs[:options]:<server>:/<path>
Loop mount a DVD ISO
You can easily set up a repository for this test case by just loopback mounting the DVD ISO. For instance,
You can easily set up a repository for this test case by just loopback mounting the DVD ISO. For instance,
mount -o loop Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/repo, and then ensure the /mnt/repo directory is exported via NFS- Proceed with installation
Expected Results
- Anaconda uses the package repository from the NFS server provided.
- Install completes successfully
- Package errors (install.log) should not occur
- System boots successfully
