This is with xfce and desktop apps installed without metapackages. If you try to upgrade a desktop system that was installed from tasksel (with task--desktop), you'll probably run into dependency conflicts. One other way to get there is to make a beowulf live-iso with live-sdk. I haven't tried it in a few months, but it worked fine when I did it. Results of that are here (no-X): https://get.refracta.org/files/testing/ and here (openbox, no dbus): https://get.refracta.org/files/experimental/refracta10-nodbus_amd64-2019-04-16.iso (Blend files available on request.

There is, and it actually "Works For Me" ;-) # Minimal server-oriented install, no GUI. I used the mini.iso from https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/beowulf/main/installer-amd64/20190625+devuan7/images/netboot/ There's also a gtk/mini.iso if you prefer the graphical installer. Besides amd64, there are also installers for armhf and i386 but I've not tried those. For documentation, refer to the Debian installer's docs. Things don't seem to have changed much.
