Description
This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo boot option works together with an HTTP or FTP repository.
Setup
- Prepare any non-live media for booting the installer (anything except
Live.iso).
How to test
- Before booting the installer, specify a target HTTP/FTP repository by adding a following boot option:
- For HTTP:
inst.repo=http(s)://<host>/<path>
- For FTP:
inst.repo=ftp://<host>/<path>
- If proxy is needed, add it as another option:
proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port]
- Example: Use
inst.repo=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/42/x86_64/os/
- For HTTP:
- Proceed with installation.
Expected Results
- The installer auto-selects requested HTTP/FTP repository as the installation source in its GUI
- The requested repository is used to download and install required packages. This can be checked by inspecting
/tmp/packaging.log.
