Hmmmm..... I thought I was already on stream, but apparently not. /etc/redhat-release says it is not stream.
I looked for a method to upgrade. Found some notes at techrepublic. The first step is to install centos-release-stream, which fails. So what is the method for doing an upgrade?
Bare metal reinstall is NOT an option. If that is the only way to do it, then I will just let this system run for a few years with no updates.
