And CentOS 8 has one, possibly 2, more point releases left before it goes EOL entirely. RHEL 8.4 should be along fairly soon if they stick to the 6 month cadence of releases and 8.5 should be along shortly before CentOS 8 goes EOL but whether there will be time to build and release it before the EOL...

But to go back to the original question: Where should sdb be mounted? The answer to that is : where do you need the space? It's quite unusual to mount a drive under /mnt at all and even more unusual to mount it on a directory named after the drive itself. So, for example, if this is a database serve...

Either do not use Rufus or read the long thread on here where the Rufus developer posts about how to make it work correctly with our iso images. Without the right options selected it will corrupt our iso and cause all sorts of errors. Or use a different program, like say dd under linux. The most lik...

An excellent guide for users that are new to Linux can be found at https://rute.gerdesas.com - while this is not official project documentation it is a well-regarded general introduction to Linux and may be of help. For an introduction to the bash shell take a look at http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_lea...

Some configurations of samba also require you to use the smbpasswd command to set up the user in question. In any case, it's not wise to attempt to use root for it.

I have merged your duplicate post into the original thread, please don't multipost. Interrupt your boot at the grub menu and edit the current kernel entry and remove the words 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from the kernel command line then press Ctrl-X to continue. That will enable verbose messages during boot...

Not a wise idea to post passwords in plain text even if part of an image. I removed it.

Cpanel is a web UI for managing systems. It runs on RHEL and on CentOS but not on Stream. It pollutes CentOS by excluding packages from the standard repos (adds exclude=long-lilst-of-stuff*) and replaces them with its own. We don't support cPanel or the systems it's installed on since any advice we ...
