Well I am batting 0 for 1000 today. I am clearly not a good resource at the
moment :). Thanks Lamar for checking the real source.

Sure, no problem.? I had a similar problem with a different version of 
CentOS, 8.3, which is too large to fit on a dual-layer DVD.? I also had 
a similar problem with another product altogether, pfSense, which will 
no longer fit on a CD, even though the docs said 'CD/DVD image' and I 
was trying to repurpose an old server, 64-bit capable but very early 
64-bit, that had a CD drive (parallel ATA thinline!) with a special 
connector, and I didn't have a DVD drive available.? Oddly enough, that 
old box can boot USB, but only certain sticks, and so I used an old 1GB 
stick to boot pfSense on that box.? I was prepared to boot an older 
pfSense and upgrade up to current.....
