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

  1. Prepare a valid updates.img file and copy it to a httpd server accessible by your installation
    • A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.img with a empty file 
    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
  2. Boot the installer while specifying the http URL for the updates image. For example: 
    updates=http://rhe.fedorapeople.org/install/updates.img
  3. Proceed with installation

Expected Results

  1. Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies its content to /tmp/updates/
  2. Anaconda proceeds without error
