Their VMs are installed with Debian Netboot + Preseed directly in an LV
(RAW-Format). You get Consoleaccess to the VM (out of band, there's a
dedicated console server) and they can mount some ISO image for
installation if you wish.

I think what I will do is request some outputs of lshw etc, or rent a
very minimal machine so I can adapt settings myself, but my hope is
GuixSD will just work* out of the box with only an added sshd and some
other minimal changes.
* work, as in ready to start installing more software.
