>From the main anaconda file:
# booleans - value is 0 for false or non-zero for true
# test - in test mode?
# xmode - bring up text mode in a X terminal window?
# debug - in debug mode?
# serial - install via serial port (?)
# expert - in expert mode?
# traceOnly - print out loaded modules
# forceMount - ? used ?
# localInstall - install to chroot
# reconfigOnly - allow user to reconfig installed box w/o reinstall
Then read the standard getopt parsing code:
elif (str == '-t' or str == '--test'):
test = 1
So, to put it in test mode, you do "-t". You also have to specify a
method (this isn't as clear). If you're basing off 6.2, you'll do:
-m dir://path/to/toplevel/cd/image
if you're basing off Pinstripe, you'll do
-m cdrom://path/to/toplevel/cd/image
So, something like:
/path/to/anaconda -t -m cdrom://path/to/toplevel/cd/image
should do something for you. You'd be better off starting from the
.src.rpm in pinstripe and doing all your testing from
BUILD/anaconda-7.0/, though.
And, by the way, I'm not inclined to help you much more if you
continue speaking the way you are.
