Hi Greg, I've seen different definitions of 'live system', so:
How does the system you want differ from a regular # guix system init system.scm /my/usb/drive ? One clear way is that AFAIR there's no documented way (yet) to pass '--removable' to grub-install, so you'll have to manually rename the grub.efi to bootx64.efi. Annoying but doable. By 'older and newer laptops', do you mean that you expect Guix to install and maintain both a UEFI and a BIOS GRUB at once? I don't think multiple bootloaders are easy to configure (yet) in Guix, but this too should be possible to support. There's also the 'read-only OS image' definition of live system, as created by # guix system image -t iso9660 system.scm used to create the Guix System installer. Unless you declare, e.g., a writable /home partition, all changes will be lost on reboot. My guess is that's not what you want and it's not 'self-contained' in that it can't update itself. Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go. Excuse or enjoy my brevity.
