This is looking really great! I tried ... http://web.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/guixsd-graphical-installer-x86-64-linux ... on the headless server where I run GuixSD. I experienced these issues: ATTEMPT 1 I started with a previously partitioned disk. I selected the 'Headless server' option. I did not modify the config. The install completed w/o errors. WOW! After restarting, I logged in to root and looked around. I was a bit disappointed that no default user was created. So I figured I needed to edit the config.scm file. But I didn't see it in /etc where I hoped it would be. I was also a bit disappointed that emacs wasn't installed. Suggestions: 1) Add a user configuration menu/form? 2) save the config file in an obvious place? 3) install emacs? ATTEMPT 2 This time I tried to set up the HD from scratch. I successfully deleted old partitions and created new partitions. It was not clear how much I needed to know (e.g., do I need to mark a partition bootable?) Then I got stuck in "Allocate disk partitions". I could enter a '/' mount point. I could 're-create' the file system. 'Continue' took me back to "select a partition". But I couldn't figure out how to get back to the main menu/form to continue the installation. I guess 'Go-Back' is supposed to do this, but it was a noop for me. George
