If I may suggest, in Guix info that is displayed at console Alt+F2, a user should be reminded to add a swap partition. I forgot to do that first time, and so my "guix system --fallback init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt" got killed by OOM killer after about 10 hours. Even if a user is not building from source, a swap partition should be handy in case the RAM is limited and/or in case hibernating is later desired. BTW, I am capable of making patches. So, if you'd like me to make a patch, just tell me the source tree to make a diff against. Thank you. -- Best regards, Eus (FSF member #4445) In this digital era, where computing technology is pervasive, your freedom depends on the software controlling those computing devices.
