from removable media. Note, this test needs removable media for storing an updates.img
(USB storage or floppy disk). Additional information on using an updates.img
can be found at Anaconda/Updates.
How to test
- Prepare a valid
updates.img
. For example, to create anupdates.img
you might run the followingmkdir /tmp/updates dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/updates.img bs=1k count=1440 mke2fs /tmp/updates.img mount -o loop /tmp/updates.img /tmp/updates touch /tmp/updates/TESTING123 umount /tmp/updates
- Write the
updates.img
to your removable media:dd if=/tmp/updates.img of=/dev/sdd
- Insert the removable drive (USB key or floppy disk)
- Boot the installer with the boot argument:
updates
- When prompted, select the appropriate removable device from the list
Expected Results
- The system should install successfully
- The
updates.img
is loaded successfully, to confirm check for the presence of the file/tmp/updates/TESTING123
- After install, the system boots successfully
