When you run the code below, ensure to redirect output and errors to a log file.
If this is a new install, consider the SELinux settings.

This may not be needed, but if slow downloading of packages occurs, modify /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to use the fastest mirror. A fix is noted in Virtual Box running CentOS8 Stream

Errors with the script:

• RPM Perl-Array-Diff not available - now working in RL 9.2
• RPM Perl-IO-All not available - now working in RL 9.2
  • Both can be installed using cpanm (see CPAN Tips)
• Errors running dnf -y copr enable stenstorp/lightdm but system still boots into Xfce OK
• perl-Math-Round not available, but perl-Math-Round-0.07-25.fc38.noarch.rpm works
