Hello all.
I wanted to know whether I could install guix on my computer.
I burned
guix-system-install-1.4.0.x86_64-linux.iso
on a DVD and tried to start the system.
The first grub menu and the guix logo turn out nice on the screen,
but after booting the graphics menu is unreadable.
I do not know how to halt the system than apart from holding down the
ON/OFF button on the computer.
Is this PC to old? Or is there a way to correct the graphics screen?
Thanks,
Gerrit
