I've added wget to the %base-networking-packages list, which means it'll
be part of any Guix System starting with v1.3.0.

For git-minimal, after discussing it on IRC, it seems reasonable to
expect savvy users to be able to 'guix install git' from the
installation environment.

Closing.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Maxim

Apologies if this has been asked before, but would it be possible to
include one of curl or wget in the installation image?

It's particularly convenient to fetch authorization keys, channel specs and
the like before installing a system.

Additionally, including git (maybe git minimal?) would be great so
synchronize Git repositories which may contain installation scripts,
Guix configs and other dotfiles.

Thoughts?
