When downloading substitutes via wireless connection, several times I encountered a case where the host name of hydra cannot be resolved. So, the "guix system init" fails and suggests the use of "--fallback" option. However, rather than continuing with "guix system --fallback init", one should actually try "dhclient -v WIRELESS_INTERFACE_NAME" first and then do "guix system init" again instead of "guix system --fallback init". My installation process is now going well with this strategy. Previously, I kept using "--fallback" that didn't solve the problem due to network connectivity error because using "--fallback" brought up built errors. -- 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.
