Description

This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested kickstart file using a HTTP url. It requires a valid kickstart file and a working HTTP host.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Prepare a valid kickstart file. For help creating a kickstart file, examine the file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg on a previously installed system. This file contains the kickstart instructions used to install that system. For additional guidance on kickstart syntax, see Anaconda/Kickstart.
  2. Copy the kickstart file to a publicly-accessible place on your HTTP host.
  3. Boot the system and add a ks argument like the following to the boot command line: 
    ks=http://server.tld/path/to/your/ks.cfg
    For example:
    http://rhe.fedorapeople.org/install/ks.cfg

Expected Results

  1. The ks.cfg is successfully obtained from the specified location
  2. The install should proceed in accordance with the directives in the ks.cfg file
