I’m trying to install Hyprland from scratch on Manjaro, similar to how it’s done on Arch with a minimal base. Is there an official or community-provided Manjaro “Scratch” ISO that comes without any pre-installed DE or WM—just the essential base system? I’d appreciate any guidance or links.
TYSM in advance, for your reply.
But you don’t need that - you can use any iso and follow this topic
I’ve just noticed that the
pacman -Syy --noconfirm --needed --root /mnt - < ~/iso-pkglist.txt
command installs the packages related to gnome (cuz am working with the manjaro gnome installer iso). how to do a clean installation without any desktop environment related packages
If you reached that step - I assume you restarted the system - so you already did created a mini-minimal working system.
Then start creating the system how you want it to be…
I didn’t really understand. Do i restart before executing this command or after its finished? i continue installation with the gnome packages?
If you do not want to recreate the ISO - then you should skip the Recreate live ISO edition and continue with Unmount the partitions
The result is a mini-minimal system which you can build from.
Thank you. But the images of Manjaro Architect from the internet looks more easy. I may try that one.
Do you know how easy it is to spin your own ISO?
I’ll probably use this. But how do i get the manjaro grub settings. I tried installing grub-theme-manjaro package but not worked. Even the grub menu doesn’t opens, redirects me to the CLI interface. Also could you please ask the manjaro team authors to gimme the iso they use to add new de’s, which includes the essential packages such as mhwd, manjaro related, and qt like packages pre configured but no de. They probably have one i guess.
That is not how it work - if you want something special you create it using the tools provided.
Manjaro ISO is built using our tools the same way as described in the link above.
I understand. But at least ain’t there any default packages list?
Read the topic above - clone the repo and you have all the package lists…
Lastly, how to install the manjaro grub menu, the package doesn’t helps
I will give you a hint
/etc/default/grub
Alright seems to be i fixed the problem, but theres no Windows boot option. And the file path u’ve mentioned doesn’t relates to boot options (i meant the boot options like Manjaro, Windows 
)
In /etc/default/grub, make sure that this line below is uncommented. 
GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
Save the file, and then run…
sudo update-grub
If for whatever reason it does not detect Microsoft Windows, then please start a separate thread about that. This thread here has been marked as solved because your original question was aptly answered. Manjaro forum culture prescribes one issue per thread, unless it concerns multiple issues that are all related to the same underlying problem.
