🔗 Description

This test will verify that anaconda can download the requested updates.img file using a HTTP url. For help preparing updates.img, see Anaconda/Updates


🔗 How to test

  1. Prepare a valid kickstart file
    • A suggested approach is to create a dummy updates.img with an 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. Copy the updates.img into the images/ directory of the remote installation source you are installing from
  3. Boot the installer while specifying the installation source where the updates.img was published.
  4. Proceed with installation

🔗 Expected Results

  1. Anaconda prepares the updates.img and copies its content to /tmp/updates/
  2. Anaconda proceeds to stage2 without error
