Description
This test will verify that anaconda can load an updates.img
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
file. See this page for image creation instructions. A good thing to change in theupdates.img
is the "What language would you like to use during the installation process?" text inpyanaconda/iw/language_gui.py
, as this text is displayed on one of the first screens. - 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
- Anaconda prepares the
updates.img
and copies its content to/tmp/updates/
. Any changes you included in the updates.img file are applied - Anaconda proceeds without related errors
