Hi Leon,
I don't have the infra (nor the knowledge or expertise) to create a LiveCD I didn't think about Fedora. This is indeed a good pointer, I will definitely try that Actually, I'm not too worried about the basics, but rather about the wifi, audio & video drivers (one of the boxes is a multimedia system)
Thanks!

Hi folks I have a couple of Zotac mini PCs running CentOS7 which I want/need to upgrade to CentOS8 In theory, they are CentOS8 capable, but assuming Murphy might be lurking around, I prefer validating the hardware before starting the effective installation
As there is no LiveCD, what would be the recommended way to do this?
No LiveCD, no recommendation but I see two options: If you have the infra (workstation/build/mock/imagebuilder) you can generate a custom spin / LiveCD, or just use a similar Fedora LiveCD to get an idea if you run in major problems. EL8 has some OS areas better equipped with backport etc. then the vanilla Fedora release but for a raw test its worth to try a fedora LiveCD - EL8 is "similar to" / "a mix of" Fedora 27/28/29 ...
BTW, starting the CentOS8 iso also shows if it boots at all ... :-)
