So I guess the installer was more resilient than I expected; it worked
fine. (using default desktop configuration on x86_64) It took a long
time, but from what Ludovic was saying, that was expected. Optional
details follow:
My initial plan was to run 'guix system init', look at what failed, and
try to resolve missing dependencies. So I ran:
time guix system init --fallback --keep-going /mnt/etc/config.scm \
/mnt &>> /mnt/unique-logging-dir-9855/run-one.log
It took about 6 hours (on my fairly powerful modern laptop).
run-one.log is 96.4 MB, so going through it by hand was not an option.
Luckily, the last line was:
Installation Finished. No error reported.
I have not done anything yet, but it boots and lets me log in as root.
If the log file is of interest, I am willing to share it if someone
provides a way to transfer it or gives me a hint about how to extract
the relevant information programmatically.
There was some other output from the system that resulted from that
command. I have no idea what it means. Also, it was copied by hand, so
there may be errors. here it is:
