I guess you need to ask guix-devel or the installer team <https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/etc/teams.scm.in> in particular. help-guix maybe is not read enough? Not sure. > 6.2.

Is it not supposed to work like that currently? Should the installer be doing set-up other than what’s in the guix operating system config.scm file? I guess no. Regards, Florian
