Description
A complete installation using the FTP (non-anonymous) network installation protocol.
How to test
- Boot anaconda using any available means
- Direct the installer to use a FTP installation source by adding the boot command:
askmethod
- When prompted, check On the network and choose to perform a FTP install
- Provide the server and path of a valid FTP installation source, including a valid
username
andpassword
into the FTP URL using the form:ftp://USER:PASS@some.server/path/to/install
Expected Results
- Anaconda uses the
images/install.img
from the FTP server provided. This can be confirmed if you have access to the FTP server logs. Alternatively, you can examine the file/var/log/anaconda.log
looking for a line similar to the followingINFO : URL_STAGE_MAIN: url is ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/images/install.img
- Anaconda uses the package repository from the FTP server provided
- Anaconda completes successfully
- System boots successfully
