Yes i do know this, But whats different between what guix is doing and 
others are doing (examples i gave above), They give you access to GUI of 
their distro without internet and from within this live GUI access to 
the distro you can configure the internet/partition..etc (easily 
specially for first time users) using GUI tools without internet (you 
can even test the distro without the need to install it)

Thats what im requesting not what is currently happening.

Guix need to improve itself when first time initiated, Please check 
other projects like NixOS,Triskel,Mint,Ubuntu...etc


If you dont like that live graphical gui access, then do it as debian is 
doing it which give you proper gui screen specifically intended to 
configure your internet then you can proceed with the installation.

Otherwise guix is useless case specially for new users in places where 
internet need to be configured manually (adding IP,Gateway,Netmask... 
manually).
