Installer restarts after choosing to partition the disk

Not sure how to add an offload server

Hi, I have some problems creating my own offload server. Adding a build-machine section in guix-configuration fills /etc/guix/machines.scm. But when I do `guix offload test` or status, it checks /usr/local/etc/guix/machines.scm and not /etc/guix/machinecs.scm. Adding the build machine in that

Avoid sending sources to offload servers

I notice package sources are sent to offload servers. I have a build that has 1.9GB sources, and results in a 4.7GB store item.
