Description

This test is intended to confirm that anaconda can locate and use an installation source accessible via anonymous FTP.

Boot the installation program using any available means (boot.iso, CD, DVD or PXE)
- NOTE: If using a CD, DVD or boot.iso, you must also direct the installer to use an FTP installation source by adding the askmethod boot argument.
Enter a language and keymap preference
When prompted, choose to perform a URL install
Enter the URL to your FTP installation source. For example, you might enter ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os
Proceed with the installation

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 following
```
INFO    : 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
