I know this comes up on the list quite often, but if you want security updates for 7.3, you're going to end up with 7.9 + patches, so why are you making your life difficult and installing such an old release? If a vendor is telling you that you have to run a particular version, perhaps you should consider finding another vendor, the baseline 7.3 has a lot of glaring vulnerabilities in it that are readily exploitable. -- Jonathan Billings <billings@xxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
One reason might be that somewhere between 7.3 and 7.9, Centos ceased being bootable on Apple hardware. At least that failure occurred for me on two machines.
