2017-05-29 Thread James Richardson
I just successfully installed guixsd 0.13.0 with efi on a new HP laptop. I found the manual to be somewhat lacking with specific details on exactly how to accomplish this. I've added to my todo list to post more details here. I also had to disable secure boot (for obvious(?) and annoying reasons)

Interesting, that would surely be something useful to document. I wonder if it's possible to use GuixSD with Secure Boot. Remember, however, that we should embrace Secure Boot and reject Restricted Boot ([[https://media.libreplanet.org/u/libby/m/embracing-secure-boot-and-rejecting-restricted-boot-
