Description

There are a variety of use cases to use the 'minimal' ISO on aarch64, however only the 'full' iso is available for aarch64.

It would be great to have the 'minimal' ISO also for aarch64.

Research direction

Start by examining how the existing aarch64 “full” ISO is produced and where the ISO variant is selected. The issue mentions no files or tests, so first locate the build or release entry point for the aarch64 image. Done means a “minimal” ISO is available for aarch64 alongside the existing “full” ISO.
