Create a guest profile

@sohail ok… well… I wont write a tutorial, but here are the basic steps:

mkdir -pv ${PWD}/newroot
basestrap ${PWD}/newroot base base-devel linux515 <more packages>
sudo chroot  ${PWD}/newroot /bin/bash

and there you are. A really minimal Manjaro.

Basically it is this: [root tip] [How To] Do a manual Manjaro installation

If you need an overlay:

mkdir -pv ${PWD}/{upper,work,access}
fuse-overlaysfs \
-o lowerdir=${PWD}/newroot \
-o upperdir=${PWD}/upper \
-o workdir=${PWD}/work \
${PWD}/access
sudo chroot  ${PWD}/access /bin/bash

Any change will be written to upper and in access: upper and newroot are merged.

I guess you know how to read manuals, wiki articles and documentations.

Needed packages: fuse-overlayfs manjaro-tools-base-git
