Subject: bug#37492: GUIXSD 1.0.1 install error
Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2019 23:50:40 +0100

Hi Marius,

I've managed to install GuixSD by chossing  msdos instead of gpt. 
Coincidence? Is the gpt setup tested?

I've running the system for a few days.

I need now a good manual> I'm suffering for:
 - reconfigure stuff that is usually in /etc, like /etc/ssh/sshd_config;
 - running a make on an open source project who looks for linux libs 
where debian would find them.

Regards, Raul
