Updates are not done via ISO except for some very small number of off line servers. Updates usually happen from the tree. And the default setup point to /7/ for updates. We have been going that for 10 years (pointing updates to /4/, /5/, /6/, /7/, and not 6.1 or 6.2 or 6.3, etc. Here is the default mirrorlist and baseurl info from CentOS-5: =========================================== mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ =========================================== It is the same for CentOS-5, CentOS-6, and CentOS-7 ... if someone has something different, then they are making changes that they want to make. The name on the ISO has no impact on updates. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
