Thanks for the quick how-to guide.

The general method I use begins with Grub, and entries such as those
following, in custom.cfg:

Ordinary installation media works too, but all that manual typing to edit
the loader line each time is a lot more work than selecting from a Grub
menu. Since I partition and format in advance, it's simple to save the
installation kernel and initrd for this use. e.g. for Buster:
wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/i
mages/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/linux wget
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/buster/main/installer-amd64/current/i
mages/netboot/debian-installer/amd64/initrd.gz
Once the minimal installation is complete and booting, I finish by
following instructions in the wiki, in particular:
"NOTE: tde-trinity package is a comprehensive meta-package. To install a
minimalist environment, replace tde-trinity with tdebase-trinity in the
instructions below."
e.g. for Debian:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install tdebase-trinity tdebase-tdm Felix Miata mentioned something about installing
TDE entirely by the
command-line. Now where is he when we need him?
That may have been me, this is what I use (from a Debian derivative).
Basically put everything in simple shell scripts and copy it to the
install media so you’re not having to type everything from memory.
Really useful to add your bin dir and anything else you regularly use
from the command line. Hack and slash as needed.
