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

  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 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, mount -o loop Fedora-17-x86_64-DVD.iso /mnt/repo, and then ensure the /mnt/repo directory is exported via NFS
  1. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

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