On the other hand, in linux there is `--system` argument, how does this argument work?, Is there a script that uses it?. To test `--system`, I removed it from my linux system and when loging in with my user it does not detect any command. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- BOOT_IMAGE=/gnu/store/fiqgyafknihbvmz4j62ddb67p79kfcbk-linux-libre-4.19.13/bzImage --root=my-root --system=/var/guix/profiles/system-87-link --load=/var/guix/profiles/system-87-link/boot --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Thank you -- Rene
