Why? 7.5.1804 has been out since May of this year. You're going to end up downloading a ton of updates the first time.
For a specialized software, we have to wait for the developers to certify each new OS. They are still recommending 7.3. One reason in particular is that 7.5 has a fix for Meltdown and Spectre, which known to reduce performance. This machine will be airgapped, so performance trumps security.

I suggest going into the BIOS and disable the internal video port, if that's possible. You might be able to indicate which video device to use for default with the right video= parameter to the kernel for the bootloader.
This is not possible. The best I can do is switch VGA priority to
offboard, that controls which screen shows POST messages. Also — this time it shows a few more lines, nouveau says unknown chipset (132000a1) So I think I can fix it by adding nomodeset to the boot options. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
