Good evening,
I'm looking for at CentOS 8 Live ISO, but I fail to find one. Is there anyone that can point me in the right direction?
They were not created due to lack of free time. I tried quickly with livecd-tools but it failed to even build an image and I had no more time to investigate. I then tried with lorax/livemedia-creator and was able to get one image that was working in live environment, but was trac'ing back during "liveinst" stage, so it wasn't even able to get installed. so same thing : had no time to investigate further.
So in summary : nobody came with a "hey, here is what needs to be fixed/patched and here is a PR", so we initially thought that in fact nobody was interested into Live ISOs anymore.
PS : last week, someone from CERN, Ben, said that he was working on this and he said he found what would be needed to "hot-patch" anaconda for it. He said he'd come with a PR for this, after a small discussion on irc in #centos-devel ... nothing (yet) received but maybe later, I'll let him comment on this
Yeah, I have been working on it in my spare time and it is not 'simple' for multiple reasons. Like Fabian I can make a 'simple' Live CDROM which takes 500 MB (1700 uncompressed) but not installable. I have tried a couple of other items but it looks like I need to dig into pungi to set up various things that livemedia-creator needs to add it together.
