[GRLUG] CentOS upgrade path

[Grand Rapids Linux Users Group]

Start by changing your yum repos, as CentOS 8 now lives in their "vault"..
Then run the Oracle script.

sudo sed -i -e "s|mirrorlist=|#mirrorlist=|g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
sudo sed -i -e "s|#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org|baseurl=
http://vault.centos.org|g" /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-*
