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
- dnf install http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-8.noarch.rpm
- dnf grouplist
- had to enable powertools in etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-PowerTools.repo
- yum repolist to check
- dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
- systemctl set-default graphical.target
- yum install sddm\*
- systemctl enable sddm -f
- yum install nfs* autofs yp*
- follow kubuntu install guide from access shared drives, do systemctl enable rpcbind ypbind autofs
