Fred:
Thanks for the detailed reply. I'll stick with XFCE - didn't realize
Gnome was a resource hog.

At the step for Mount Points -

Yes, you can tweak those sizes to be whatever is optimal for your
situation. The main point of that installation step is to *not* use
‘Automatic Partitioning’, which will end up allocating most of your
space to ‘/home’ and almost none to ‘/var/snd’, which is severely
non-optimal for a stand-alone Rivendell system.
The resulting desktop is Xfce instead of Gnome. Is Xfce better than
Gnome? I had no problem with Gnome in Centos 6.
If it's not too much trouble I'd like to bring back Gnome. Would this
interfere with Rivendell in any way?
It all depends on what you mean by ‘better’. Gnome on CentOS 7 is
(alas) Gnome 3, which not only is the resource hog of the century but
also copies every bad feature possible from Windows 8. We ended up
settling on XFCE because it is fast, lightweight and customizable.
Remember, this is a tool for keeping your station on the air and
sounding good, neither more nor less. You really neither need nor want
a desktop that tries to ‘entertain’ your air staff. A simple program
launcher generally suffices.
Cheers!
