Hello @Dirk_of,

hello Hartmut,

this is my first remote exam. I had ordered the voucher and i am waiting for the message that i can shedule an exam date.

Is it possible to download the iso image before to check wether my equipment meets the requirements and if not to shedule an kiosk exam in a testcenter ?

Hi @DirkSeifert ,

Thanks for reporting this. @Hartmut  also informed us of this behavior on DE_German Keyboards. I have passed this to the devs to take a look.

Hello.

I am unable to boot in to the RH Exam environment using the provided .iso file.  I've downloaded the .iso from:  https://static.redhat.com/downloads/training-certification/rhrexboot.iso

When I boot via USB to this .iso, I am loaded in to a simple grub menu, instead of the exam environment shown in the instructions.

Is there a different or updated .iso I should be using?

Thank you!

I downloaded this one a couple of days ago:
https://static.redhat.com/downloads/training-certification/rhrexboot.iso
used rufus to write it to a usb drive, and i can confirm it works fine when booted to a 10 year old laptop and passes all the device tests. I have not tried to boot it to my latest gen gaming pc, i suspect i may encounter problems. ready for my test on tuesday.
