hello,


I found bugs,


Installation options using iso: Does not boot using dual boot or standalone boot. stucks with automatic reboot. I tried in 3 different computers using 2 different pendrives.


installation options using vmware:

The installer has encountered an unexpected problem. The backtrace is displayed
below.

installation using binary, only binary installation over Linux works, but guix pull does work and also could not able to re configure and not able to proceed further for writing scripts.

thanks,
