This is the install notes for CentOS 8 (linux/stream) - this should only be used for the platform servers.

  • Create disk using Universal USB installer 1.9.9.3
  • had to change D:/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg change
  • ...inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS-Stream-8-x86_64-dvd quiet to ...inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=UUI quiet
  • and add rdblacklist=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0 after quiet if graphic issues
  • can also change LABEL when it gets to boot menu using tab
  • root account/passwd, sort connection first (hostname *.eee.nottingham.ac.uk), if usb can't be found use network install and find correct repo (http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/), packages include files and storage server + network servers + standard, select all drives and click next to configure,
