The Installer in CentOS7 is confusing, particularly the partitioning section, but it *does* let you do manual partitioning. If you see this display: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/images/diskpartsetup/disk-setup-x86.png (From: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-disk-partitioning-setup-x86.html ) You need to pick 'I will configure partitioning'. > Also, it does not provide for the option to upgrade. > In fact the banner does not even say > Install or Upgrade. No one ever said it would allow you to upgrade the system in-place. Aside from the 'preupg' method (which can leave you with a broken system), the method you use to upgrade a system from CentOS6 to CentOS7 is to back up your data, install CentOS7, and restore your data. The jump from CentOS6 to CentOS7 is big enough that a lot of software can't safely be upgraded via yum. It's not a minor update. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
