Subject: bug#24993: Documentation: 'guix pull' needed during SD installation
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2016 13:25:57 -0900

In the online installation docs at
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Proceeding-with-the-Installation.html#Proceeding-with-the-Installation>,
please insert the command 'guix pull' before the "guix system init"
command. Otherwise installation can fail due to missing binary packages,
which creates confusion for newbie installers like myself. Thank you!
