By the way, in my old notes about my installation of the Guix System 1.0.0, I have something about a problem related to the order in which the installer checks for network availability. My computer had another OS installed at that time. If I recall correctly, I started the Guix System installation process, told the installer to use the whole disk for installation, and only after formatting the disk, the installer told me there was a connection problem, and I couldn't install the system. So I couldn't boot to the old OS at that point. Fortunately, people on #guix helped me solve the network problem (related to bug) and I could install the Guix System. So, if this is still the case, I think the installer should check for network connection before attempting to do any destructive operation. --- https://sirgazil.bitbucket.io/
