What about giving #:target-size a default value here so that the hunk
above in unnecessary?

What about making a separate OS definition for the desktop installation
case?  We’d move the ‘os’ variable to the top-level and add an ‘os’
parameter to ‘guided-installation-test’.

Having two separate OS definitions (one for desktop install, one for
“bare-bones” install) should be clearer than having a single definition
with conditionals.

Wo0t!

Thanks a lot for working on it!  You can stop by on #guix if you feel
like it so we’re all less lonely during confinement.  :-)
