CentOS - May 2018 - could not resolve mirrorlist.centos.org

Hi, folks,

   I've got managers on me, I'm rebuilding this system as C 7... and
I'm
getting the above. No idea. It pings, but pointing a browser to  there
gives me "invalid release".

   Anyone else having trouble?

If you want a list of the mirrors, go to:

   <https://www.centos.org/download/mirrors/>


If you want to go to http://mirrorlist.centos.org, then you have to
fill in the parameters that you see in a yum .repo file, e.g.,

   <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=os>

otherwise you do indeed get the "invalid release" response.

Never mind. I'd installed a minimal basic system, and had added our local
repo, and then went to run a large script... and somewhere, for no reason
I know, it had shut down the NIC-formerly-known-as-eth0. I brought that
up,  and all was well.
