Upon base installation of D8 beta3 I tried to use drush to install the adaptive theme (8.x-1.x-dev)

I appear to have hit an installation loop.

[root@ip-10-0-0-54 default]# ls
default.services.yml  default.settings.php  files  services.yml  settings.php
[root@ip-10-0-0-54 default]# drush en adaptivetheme "Base Theme" base

The command "adaptivetheme" is for the D7 version for generating a new sub-theme, there is no actual theme by this name, adaptivetheme is merely the name of the project, the actual themes are listed by Drush, there are four of them, but you only ever need to enable at_generator and then generate a new sub-theme (this has a UI), there is no drush wizard or commands for using the generator at this stage.

Hopefully I have time to build a wizard for using the generator, however this is not on my todo list right now.

Soon I will begin working on a Drush wizard, however this is not a big focus for this version of the theme, it all comes down to if I can replicate the Generator in Drush, or we take a slightly different path etc etc. AT is really focused at non technical developers where Drush matters less, and honestly the UI Generator is very fast and easy to use.
