Description
This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested updates.img file using a HTTP url. For help preparing an updates.img, refer to Anaconda/Updates
How to test
- Prepare a valid
updates.imgfile and copy it to a httpd server accessible by your installation - A suggested approach is to create a dummy
updates.imgwith a empty file - Boot the installer while specifying the http URL for the updates image. For example:
inst.updates=http://rhe.fedorapeople.org/install/updates.img
- Proceed with installation
mkdir /tmp/updates dd if=/dev/zero of=updates.img bs=1k count=1440 mke2fs updates.img mount -o loop updates.img /tmp/updates touch /tmp/updates/TESTING123 umount /tmp/updates
Expected Results
- Anaconda prepares the
updates.imgand copies its content to/tmp/updates/ - Anaconda proceeds without error
