After the 7.5.1804 official release, we'll bump the LTS version to newer versions, and also for new images and kernel[s] , extlinux.conf will be updated automagically. -- Fabian Arrotin The CentOS Project | https://www.centos.org gpg key: 56BEC54E | twitter: @arrfab -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
