I started to install centos7 using a livecd image. After booting the cd I tried a "yum install mc" which failed. I then tried "yum update" and got the following output.
Are you sure that your newly installed machine is actually online?
What does "ping google.com" get you?
Thanks. That is the problem. I never got to the install. I was running from the liveCD.
I have booted from quite a few liveCD's and this is the first (that I remember- always a caveat nowadays) that didn't handle the network setup of my ethernet. The problem is probably unique to my setup. I have a built in ethernet on the motherboard which failed about a year after I put the board in about 6 years ago. I put in an old nic I had laying around and have been happy ever since. I tried looking at /var/log/messages to see what NetworkManager had to say, but don't understand it. I know how to get the network going now and will be able to do that after I install and should be OK. So, thanks again.
