Would those who have a spare machine (or more) and who install Rocky EL 
8.4 please comment to this list.  Some of the questions that might need 
to be answered are below.

How easy was manual disk partitioning?

How easy was selection of options, including the use of those from 
ElRepo et al that are standard repositories of often needed "addons" not 
available from the base distro?

How easy was it to maintain non-systems areas that might be needed 
(e.g., /home , /opt , /usr/local )?

Do applications that are needed and function under SL still function 
(perhaps with later release versions) on Rocky EL 8.4?

After running Rocky EL 8.4 for a bit with a real load of typical 
applications and uses (and users as well), how stable is this distro?

My understanding from previous postings to this list is that the 
problems are not just with a clone port of EL 8, but intrinsic to the 
RHEL 8 from IBM RH.
