I probably also did something I shouldn't have with sudo or guix pull -p 
after running the guix-install.sh script, but I don't know for sure. If 
I had the time I would have rerun the script etc, to verify the output 
of ls -la ~/.config/guix/current directly after guix-install.sh and 
after guix pull etc, and check similar things as was checked here: 
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/36785

My root user's guix pull -l shows Guix 1.0.1 as first generation, and 
the install script uses https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix, but yes it is 
probably the same.
