Greetings.
Just getting started. Don't know enough to properly post bugs yet, but hope
this is useful.
I really want to try out aarch64 with various (raspi3,LePotato) but decided to
start simple with power hungry ol' x86_64.
Used:
https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/guixsd-install-0.15.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz
[1] Instructions pretty good but had a typo in my timezone ("config.scm"), so
after the long, slow download process the install failed.
RECOMMEND: Timezone "preflight" check at beginning would have saved much time.
Started again from scratch. This worked OK, but you know the download delay is
painful. 8^|
Thanks for zile, btw [prefer mg]. Old emacs fingers...
[2] I typically multiboot but did not see how to do this easily, so allowed the
grub install [no efi].
[3] After reboot and setting passwords, did
root> guix pull
root> guix system reconfigure
==> guix system: error: wrong number of arguments to 'reconfigure'
Tried
root> guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
which reported no errors.
root> guix package -i mg
root> guix package -i emacs dillo
==> guix package: warning: Consider running 'guix pull' followed by
'guix package -u' to get up-to-date packages and security updates.
user> guix pull && guix package -u
... on to other explorations ...
FYI,
