That sounds pretty neat.

I looked into it; it looks like they've got placeholders for server-oriented installs, but no ISOs yet; only for desktop and mobile at the moment. But it's a cool project, and I'm keeping my eye on it - thanks!

Ah, yeah, shows you how long its been since I looked at the ISOs. The CLI installer is ancient.

Looks like there's a new one here, but is a WIP: https://github.com/CachyOS/New-Cli-Installer?tab=readme-ov-file

Oh, yeah; I'm fine with a GUI boot USB, and a GUI installer... but if possible, having a target use is nice. Having a "server" target often means they skip installing X/Wayland, window managers, DE, and a bunch of applications - which means a far shorter installation and fewer post-install clean-up hoops of removing crap that's not going to get used.

I like the convenience of the GUI installers; I just like the option of saying "don't install a desktop GUI."
