Description

This is to verify that Anaconda's inst.repo boot option works together with an HTTP or FTP repository.

Setup

  1. Prepare any media for booting the installer.

How to test

  1. 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/i386/os/
  2. Proceed with installation.

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda uses the package repository from the HTTP/FTP server provided to install required packages.
