That (if it worked) would only work up until the stream reaches EOL at the end of 'Full Support mode '- which for EL 8 is 31st May 2024 (not as we were expecting, sometime in 2029) Or even better, as Redhat appear to be taking full control of 'CentOS', why don't they just make RHEL available to all for 'free', and you just pay for support if you need it - i.e. a bit like it is now, RHEL if you pay, CentOS if you don't - I'm sure that would make everyone happy :-) James Pearson
