I guess it should work the following way: # anaconda --ks=KICSTART_URL but unfortunately the argparse doesn't take the second (KICKSTART_URL) argument, i.e.: # anaconda --ks=http://localhost/ks.cfg ... anaconda: error: argument --ks: ignored explicit argument 'http://localhost/ks.cfg' # anaconda --ks http://localhost/ks.cfg ... anaconda: error: unrecognized arguments: http://localhost/ks.cfg --kickstart=<filename> takes a filename argument. --ks does not take an argument, and its documentation needs to be fixed. However, --kickstart only accepts local files. You will need to fetch kickstart files from the network before passing them to the CLI. This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Description of problem: There is written the following: --ks Gives the location of the kickstart file to be used for installation. The KICKSTART_URL supports fetching kickstarts from HTTP/S, FTP, NFS, from a local file, from a local harddrive, from an optical disk and from BIOS RAID sets. For details on the KICKSTART_URL syntax see the Anaconda options wiki page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda_Boot_Options Not counting that the URL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda_Boot_Options is obsoleted, but I was able to get to the Boot Options description, the main problem is that I wasn't able to find what the KICKSTART_URL is and where to specify it. From the description I thought I could do something like: # anaconda --ks KICSTART_URL but I cannot. So it seems there is a room for improvement of the --ks description Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-23.19.10-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. anaconda --help | grep -A 4 -- --ks Actual results: Not clear instructions how to specify kickstart URL. Expected results: Clear instructions how to specify kickstart URL. Additional info:
