Thanks David.
sudo yum remove chronygets rid of chrony and 62 dependencies  but sudo 
install ntp fails.  (Error: Unable to find a match: ntp)
I believe /assume that there is no ntp packages in the centos8 repositories.  
Can my installation be forced to use a different repository such as centos7  ??


I don't know Centos8, but my immediate reaction is:

  "If it doesn't support NTP, don't touch it".

OK, a bit extreme, but NTP works on all my other devices (Linux, 
Raspberry Pi, Windows, and even some stand-alone devices).


One of my issues with Linux is that there are too many incompatible 
versions!

I have recently built a server running Centos8 only to find that it doesnot 
support ntpd, only chronyd.
That would not be a problem except that chrony does not like my stratum 1 GPS 
receiver and the only possible reason that I can work out is the incorrect 
Precision figure reported. (see below)
Is there anyway that I can force ntpd onto Centos8 or anyway I can make chrony 
ignore this missing number?

cheers,
Derek.


Perhaps?

  sudo apt-get remove chrony
  sudo apt-get install ntp
