And none specific to the > installed system? yum update of any centos 7 system updates it to the latest centos 7, whihc is currently 7.3. there's no such thing as 7.2 updates once 7.3 has come out. the files that say 7.1 haven't been updated since 7.1, but are still applicable to the latest. -- john r pierce, recycling bits in santa cruz
