Hi,

so It's the usual suspect; time. I'm familiar with that old chap. :)

If anyone is interested in why I want a Live-media is that I'm planning
on installing ZFS as the root filesystem[1] on Centos 8, and for that I
need the aforementioned media type.

And maybe make a PR of a updated documentation for CentOS 8 on the way
in the ZFS project.
