You need to have EOS mirrors and enable it for pacman… i am not sure on what Manjaro changed all around. So as they do not use Archmirrors directly… I would not call it Archlinux or derivate 🤹
Manjaro is arch-like arch fork, beside own repo, Kernel namings, own systemd packages probably working to a own packagemanagement with pamac. future you have to install pacman intoo te system, pamac is stil in afase especially cli, video drivers configuration, kernel names are pretty static…if you know the difference is always possible te convert te system but only need a lot time, identifications of mhwd* kernel names etc… but its always tricky also
if you use manjaro as base, would not work, system is designed around mhwd & linux(xx) kernel namings and some things…even the first manjaro-tools was a mix of archiso and chakra-tools. current is changed.
You do not need to build the ISO at all…
Instructions are not complete and changing also from time to time… We do changing a lot of stuff at the moment, so it is not recommended to use the code to create installation media for a real install, as it can contain unfinished stuff.
Ah o.k. the ISO itself is quite stable, so we do change not that much inside there, most of configuration happens outside the ISO, inside install scripts and the installer calamares itself.
You underestimate how badly I want Endeavor OS to flourish. I’ll install the mirrors until a more polished approach is implemented, and do tests on my machines.
