Ah, thanks, that is useful info. But I did an install in another disk image... I couldn't find that in the manual, would it be useful to add it ? If yes, where ? -- Vincent Legoll

(IIRC, there used to be one that I would read a lot, but that was quite some time ago). The article was detailed and illustrated with many links -- kudos to the author. In contrast, my favorite place for linux news just did a quote with a link: https://lwn.net/Articles/817597/ (But it's early yet, we'll see). > > Thanks to all who made this happen! > Indeed! However, the significance of what's happening isn't registering with some readers (not limited to heise.de readers, or German), judging from these comments to the article: --8<---cut here---start->8--- GNU Guix ist ein funktionaler Paketmanager OK, mich würde jetzt mal ein Paketmanager interessieren, der nichtfunktional ist?! Kann der Artikelautor ein konkretes Beispiel nennen? --8<---cut here---end--->8--- If by "nichtfunktional" he really means concrete programming source syntax, I will confess to some sympathy, as when trying to grok a really gnarly gexp :) But then to syntax preferences no end there is ;) --8<---cut here---start->8--- Ich setze das Original ein: NixOS NixOS hat das Konzept der funktionalen Beschreibung eines (Linux-)Systems meines Wissens das erste Mal praktisch einsetzbar umgesetzt. Guix SD ist aus meiner Sicht einfach nur ein Klon. Mir ist das Original lieber. --8<---cut here---end--->8--- I am not familiar with NixOS, but I have the impression (CMIAW) that guix goes *much* further beyond any NixOS origins than that commenter believes. Anyway, guix is cool :) https://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/de-en/ (Nice dictionary to help my creaky German ;-) > > Cheers, > > Konrad > > -- Regards, Bengt Richter

Hello, I'm trying the prebuilt VM image and cannot find the /etc/config.scm file on it ? (nor any other system config templates, but I may not be looking at the right places) This is documented here: 8.16 Running Guix in a Virtual Machine second paragraph. Another question, why is the VM image partitionned like that (root first, then EFI) ? It makes root partition resizing more painful than needed. What am I missing ? -- Vincent Legoll
