VM Guix

[Brian O'Keefe]

Hi,

I have successfully installed GUIX as a VM on Ubuntu host. However, it 
eats up disk space like a hog, far exceeding the virtual drive I create 
and compromises my Ubuntu install as I get a low on disk space warning. 
I create a VM HD of 20GB but apparently that isn't enough. Is GUIX 
really that "bloated"? I've had to dump it to free up real disk

Thanks
