add centos 8 support with minimal changes #91

Closed jmartin-tech closed 3 years ago

jmartin-tech commented 3 years ago

Centos 8 release pattern is superseded by Centos Stream however having a box base on the last official release that is supported until December 2021 still has value.

This is similar to #86 however, at least in my local testing, Centos 8 required 1024M in ram to load the install env properly. This PR also focuses on only adding Centos 8 and makes no other changes.

The update to vmware.sh is to allow for scenarios where /mnt/hgfs already exists in the VM.

closes #88

Just a ping to see if this will move forward.
