Description Kamil Páral 2012-10-11 10:46:07 UTC 
Description of problem:
If I boot LiveCD with inst.updates=foo, the option is not recognized and the updates.img is not downloaded and applied. If I boot with updates=foo, it works.

However, DVD/netinst correctly parses both inst.updates=foo and updates=foo.

According to the current documentation, inst.updates should be supported always:
http://wwoods.fedorapeople.org/doc/boot-options.html

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18 Beta TC3
anaconda 18.14

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot LiveCD with inst.updates=foo
2. run anaconda
3. check whether /tmp/updates exists
Comment 1 Kamil Páral 2012-10-11 10:47:06 UTC 
By the time Fedora 18 is released, anaconda documentation should match anaconda behavior. We should fix anaconda or adjust documentation. Proposing as Final blocker.
Comment 2 Kamil Páral 2012-10-11 12:29:33 UTC 
Changing proposal to Final NTH, that is more appropriate. In the worst case this can be CommonBugs.
