• First attempt for netinstall
  • Used CentOS-Stream-x86_64-boot.iso
• Review notes on net installation URL problems to use proper network URL for package downloads
• First go here: http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=8&arch=x86_64&repo=BaseOS
  • Choose one from list
    • This worked: http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/8.0.1905/BaseOS/x86_64/os/

• Copy this source to a .bash and run as root

TO DO

• Figure out NUX repo issues
• Figure out MATE
  • Look at https://www.rootusers.com/how-to-install-mate-gui-in-centos-7-linux/
  • Discussion at https://centosfaq.org/centos/centos-8-mate/
  • Try: yum -y groupinstall "Server with GUI"
• If MATE is not possible, try GNOME Classic
• 'terminal' will not open
  • Check https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1648671
  • Tried:
    • dnf install glibc-*langpack*
    • dnf install langpacks*
  • Try to replicate MATE look & feel in GNOME classic
• System language seems to be British (Colours)
