Hmmmm..... I thought I was already on stream, but apparently not. /etc/redhat-release says it is not stream.
I looked for a method to upgrade. Found some notes at techrepublic. The first step is to install centos-release-stream, which fails. So what is the method for doing an upgrade? Bare metal reinstall is NOT an option. If that is the only way to do it, then I will just let this system run for a few years with no updates. ======== Bill Gee On Monday, February 14, 2022 6:15:52 AM CST Pete Biggs wrote: > On Mon, 2022-02-14 at 05:55 -0600, Bill Gee wrote: > > Every time I run dnf, I get this: > > > > ========= > > [root@vmhost2 ~]# dnf upgrade > > CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream > > 70 B/s | 38 B 00:00 > > Error: Failed to download metadata for repo 'appstream': Cannot prepare > > internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist > > ========= > > > > I tried disabling the repository, but that only gives me exactly the > > same error for the baseos repository.
