CentOS 6.6 live CD/DVD missing
Posted: 2015/01/14 21:19:09
Hi
Last year we switched several of our courses to CentOS, partly because of the long-term support. It worked out quite well, but this semester we ran into a very unpleasant problem.
There does not appear to be any live CD or DVD images available for download. These were in the course materials we developed and now (when the semester already started) is a really bad time to make changes.
What's worse is that there doesn't seem to be any explanation anywhere. The only acknowledgement I found that this is an issue was on a distrowatch release announcement where it says these ISOs are "not available yet".
Does the support till 2020 not apply to live disks? What's the reason they haven't been built for CentOS 6.6? Anybody know?
We'd keep happily using 6.5 but as you know that also dissapeared from mirrors.
Cheers,
Andrew
