Hey,

Could you please send a mail to bug-g...@gnu.org about that one, so that it is easier for us to track it? > A.

I just wanted to point it out. That's strange, letter based selection is supposed to be active from the start, I'll check why. > B. I would find it very useful if the installer offered to set up a print > cups service when selecting services. Editing the /etc/config.scm file to set > up cups is the first thing I do after any installation. It has been reported here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38161. We should definitely add it. > C. About the choice of the keyboard layout "fr_CH.utf8": strangely (i.e. > contrary to debian installer for example), you have to choose "German > (Switzerland)" first and then the variant "French (Switzerland)". It is not > intuitive to choose a "French (Switzerland)" keyboard in the > "German (Switzerland)" category. The debian installer proposes directly the > keyboard "fr_CH.utf8" when you choose the regional settings Switzerland / > French. We are following the structure dictated by the xkeyboard-layout package, I don't remember exactly how the Debian installer deals with it, but I'll check it. Thanks for your help, Mathieu
