Re: Installation mount points problem

I really like SuSE's installer in regards the partitioner.
For example , my Lab's VMs use 4 disks from 4 gluster volumes in a raid0 setup.
For CentOS7/8 I have to first go to the troubleshooter in order to manually create my LVs as anaconda will deploy my LV ontop of MD-based PV instead of striped LV.

It has its limits, but using kickstart helps to overcome most of the limits.

Yes I have all tose grub2 packages installed. So I did:

grub2-install /dev/sda10 --force

and that worked. Then I did:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

and that worked. When I rebooted the grub2 menu came up and I chose CentOS8 Core and I was on my way. The only glitches were:

1) A slew of messages regarding 'SELinux targeted policy relabel is required' and a whole bunch of relabelling, whatever that is supposed to do.
2) The final screen is a command line login screen, rather than a graphical login.

I am pretty sure the first is because I did not make any choice about SELinux when I installed, as I remember there is an icon for that. I am pretty sure the second is because I chose the "Minimal Install" and evidently that is not enough to give me a graphical system, and maybe it does not even give me a networking/Internet system. I am not sure about the latter, but evidently "Minimal Install" is not what a graphical user like me wants.

So now I can try the entire installation procedure again, this time choosing something above "Minimal Install" to get the Gnome graphical system, or I can try to install the necessary packages to give me what I want from the command line after I login there. But I really do not know what packages I need for Gnome so maybe just installing again is the correct way to go. At least this time when I install again I know everything I need to do, both in installing, and in subsequent Troubleshooting to install the boot code at the beginning of my /boot partition and generating the grub2 menu.

Of course
and maybe it does not even give me a networking
No, it is the opposite.
But I really do not know what packages I need for Gnome
Just perform a : dnf grouplist and you will get a list of packages avalaible. You should see GNOME

type: dnf install @GNOME or whatever you choose

Now we are out of the initial subject so that shoul be a good idea to open another tipic.

I did open another topic (viewtopic.php?f=54&t=72027), for which you said that 'multi posting is not a good idea'.
