Centos 8 -> Centos Stream -> Centos 8

Post by zhup » 2021/04/28 19:29:44

Hello,

I upgrated Centos 8 to Centos Stream few days ago.
Now I would like to switch back to Centos 8.
I did:

Code: Select all

dnf remove CentOS-release-stream 
rm -rf /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Stream*.repo
dnf distro-sync 
reboot
But, I am not sure if it worked, as:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Stream release 8
Could you please help me to switch back to Centos 8?
Thank you in advance.

Did you reinstall centos-linux-release?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
