Hi,

The guix-install.sh script ends with the message:

    Run 'info guix' to read the manual.

And this works only if the foreign distribution has already installed an
’info’ reader.  That could not be the case.

I suggest to test if “type -P info“ returns something, then display the
message, else recommend to install an Info reader often named ’info’ or
’info-reader’ and display the message.

WDYT?

Cheers,
simon
