Can we use rpi-update on CentOS without screwing up something ? :)
I've never used it, but if you only want to check things, it shouldn't be a problem, but I wouldn't even think about making it download/update anything.

In raspbian I can add file name "ssh" in boot sector and I can login via ssh without setting anything. I would like to ask if there is something similar in centos.

P.S. I do not have monitor.

On CentOS you'll find that ssh is already enabled and running and the firewall is already configured to allow port 22 access.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Is there any way You guys can support NOOBS installation too,
Which would allows CentOS to be a part of multi-boot system
So we could boot this way few instances at ones for different testing environments

Right now by NOOBS there are only the following OS's supported:
Raspbian
LibreELEC
OSMC
Recalbox
Lakka
RISC OS
Screenly OSE
Windows 10 IoT Core
TLXOS
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... n/noobs.md

and the only way to install centOS right now is to to do a manual install which makes it bit inconvenient, considering that Pi mostly is a testing environment.

Not in my plans, but that doesn't mean it can be done. If you want to take on the task, I'll help any way I can.

So, a bit of news, I have TEST version a TEST image for a TEST rpi4 using TEST aarch64.
For those who want to TEST, here's te TEST link https://people.centos.org/pgreco/CentOS ... al-4-1908/
I have been using it for a few days and haven't seen anything strange, but it's been only cli/ssh.

Pablo.

P.S.1 ) Did I mention this is a TEST? :D :D
P.S.2 ) I compiled some things and made the image itself in machines other than CentOS' servers, if you don't trust me, don't use it :mrgreen: :D

I am trying to install "centos-release-scl" and "centos-release-scl-rh" on my Centos 7 for my raspberry pi but it seems that this repo doesnt exist anymore?

Is there a way for raspi centos to install rh-php72 packages?

Thank you. :)

There aren't any SCLs for the arm distro.
