Hi all,
Is there any way to get a CentOS 7 ISO with the centosplus kernel? I have some very old hardware I'd like to keep going if easy, but it has old NVidia network cards that need the forcedeth driver. Apparently this driver is now in the centosplus kernel, but if I use the default ISO I won't be able to get on the network to get the centosplus kernel. (Of course I can get the kernel to the machine in other ways, but over the network is by far the most convenient.)
See https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7359 for more details. I've done other web searches but found nothing more specific than this link.
Thanks!

I tried to create a new Everything ISO using the Plus kernel-plus instead of kernel .. I got a bootable ISO, but anaconda keeps erroring out without kernel and with kernel-plus in the repo.
I don't see an easy way to make this work.
If you are physically near the machine, just plugging in and mounting a thumb drive with the said RPMs copied to it and doing:
yum install <mounted_path>/kernel-plus-3.10.0-514.21.2.el7.centos.plus.x86_64.rpm
Should work
