I just came across Install Arch Linux as fast as possible
would love a terminal only EOS, on top of which i can install Qtile + Xonsh + Kitty for example.
Atleast can someone suggest edits for the titus script (shown in the video), so that it does same thing for EOS.
Why not use the archinstall script and do a Vanilla Arch install?
You get a “canvas” to do whatever you like with.
Qtile requires an xserver/wayland compositor… So it would not be terminal only.
i meant to start with a terminal only and do whatever anyone wants on top of it. instead of install the default packages, add a new WM and then remove the default one.
Just install eos-base-package in the installer.
Nothing else.
Reboot and log into TTY.
Edit:
Correction: eos-bas-package >> eos-base-group.
Just install Arch Linux, and from there you’re open to go in any direction.

Else, go by the ArchWiki:

As for Arch install-scripts, I can’t say many positive things. Tried them last 1-2 yrs. ago and they were still a mess. They may have greatly improved by now, but I loved to learn setting up Arch Linux “by hand”. 
Doesn’t make it very accessible to new users does it? Booting to a command prompt is so 1970s 
yeap, but how about a middle ground …
and i get EOS convenience scripts from this terminal.
remember my first linux installation on a corporate environment in the 90s. copied to a floppy disk from biblio.org or something and installed it on the desktop. result there was kernel panic and i too panicked
That’s the middle ground:
The convenience of a graphic installer.
A blank sheet to do what you want with.
hmmm
Your system, your rules… The accepted norm is a graphical installer and a dm.
If you wish to produce a community spin that matches your expectations, go ahead.
