I'm afraid, you did not get the point (No offence meant!): I know that I can do this. I also know that I can maintain configs via git. But all this is the developers perspective. If somebody is downloading the ISO-image and installing GuixSD on some machine – stand-alone, no other GuixSD systems around: He/she would store the system-config somewhere on the machine, change it and "reconfigure" and hack around. (At least this is what I would do.) So why there is no starting-point for system-config in the image? Why would the user need to download it from some (no quite obvious) internet-address? I also would expect to have the config for this very system at hand. Yes, the manual has a section "Building the Installation Image", but *if* I ever recognize this section, I'd still have to dig into the source and fetch the actual file. For making live easier for new users and for encouraging them to re-gain the power over their computer, we should IMHO serve the config on silver plate. I hope my motivation is more clear now. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
