No problem! I used the installation script just a few days earlier and I 
presumed it would give me the latest of everything. I didn't imagine I 
would need to do a 'guix pull' after running it. It seems I ran it at a 
bad moment, just as 1.4.0 was about to be released.

I did this as I am working with essentially a fresh installation.

Unfortunately it is still not working out. While more packages seem to 
be downloaded, some very large ones are still being compiled and this 
simply ends up hanging my system.

Is there a way to enforce only binaries are fetched and compilation is 
never attempted? Even if that means I might not always run the latest 
version?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Julius
