Hi Folks!
First, I want to say a great big thank you to Daviwil for his Youtube videos and the rest of the Guix community. I have totally fallen for the notion of Guix and Guile, and totally ready to give it a whirl.
I want to get going and have downloaded a bunch of images from the guix.gnu.org website, have installed the guix binary locally on my old Linux system. I have watched a bunch of his videos, read up on Guile and created a dotfiles structure with configuration files for the last reinstall I will ever doā¦
I am fairly certain I will need a non-guix linux kernel for the system as I am on a laptop, and was aiming to get a one-shot fresh-install to my (soon to be) empty disks, so I will need to probably generate/build a new iso on the old system to include my config.scm, and see if I can even skip the installer, find out how to tell it to use the included configuration as defaults.
Based on these objectives:
- Is there a ready-to-download ISO with guix including a nonguix linux kernel for the needed hardware support? If not,
- I can try roll-my-own (hopefully), but can I feed my dotfiles configuration I prepared (which already reference the non-guix linux kernel) and partitioning information etc, the same way anaconda or debconf ākickstartā installer config files do? Maybe supplying an argument to the booting kernel? (either inside the ISO or served on https?)
- Are there any updated guides I can follow/videos I can watch on someone who has done similar to set up a modern graphical desktop for developers as the existing guide/videos are a few years old now and guix has updated quite a bit since then?
Thanks in advance!
