Sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing the symlink... I'll use it instead..
Cheers!

Problem re-appeared again.

At that time I'm unable to download  Cloud Image linked from

https://wiki.centos.org/Download

http://cloud.centos.org/centos/7/images/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.raw.xz

$ wget

As before I'm looking for a raw image, or a tar of the corresponding
