So it finally happened after a few days of trying and the excellent help here.
Thanks to all.
I have a VirtualBox VM running on Mac OSX High Sierra.
Congratulations!
I just succeded installing, resizing & guix pulling via the 0.15 binary
VM image. (total time took some hours from commit=v0.15 from berlin)
Most of the time was used to figure out how to resize the qcow2-image
and configure qemu. You gotta love free software! <3
Will post guide or blog post when I am satisfied (SSH into to the guest
does not work yet for some reason).
Took a few days to compile everything from sources using
--substitute-urls="https://berlin.guixsd.org”. Don’t do this unless you are
very patient.
Berlin had all needed substitutes for my bare-bones.tmpl ->config.scm.
While installing the new VM, I found some issues with the install scripts:

I never ran into this as I am running 0.15, NOT vanilla.

Sorry, I had to edit the builder script and remove the tests to get this to
install. I guess I will install this properly later when it gets fixed.
You could create your own custom package.
guix-artwork-6998d30 —> So I have no idea how to download this file. Instead,
I (sorry Mark) edit the
rsgj5syf4azvg4y80gqbr94gr4i9226y-guix-artwork-6998d30-checkout.drv file and
changed it to https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix/guix-artwork.git
You could create your own custom package.
I know your not supposed to edit these, but had I not, I would be waiting for a
while. When these are fixed, I will install them properly.
I guess I was the guinea pig to show that there are some issues with the
install that need to be addressed.
Aren't we all. Now you know what BETA feels like :D
Thanks everyone. Now I can play with the fresh OS.
Happy hacking!
Would you be willing to post a screenshot?
