All the relevant information is in the manual, and it's easy for experienced Guix users to find what they need. However, it's not clear to a beginner which section is relevant to their needs, and how they are related. Also, there are some subtly misleading instructions. I'll restructure and rewrite these sections in the next few days and solicit feedback here. Please reply if you have any specific advice or complaints. --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEEsFFZSPHn08G5gDigJkb6MLrKfwgFAllf1awACgkQJkb6MLrK fwhesg//QSK9jaUVRbVxqu/vd33rfpihSXkl/d/cQfuXlMhD/xA+LjkCS/q4qsq6 2DKOfhZioGMcn7z6lftpsMi+WwAuyz9Jw25VvEi2fPJm9OYNq+kZCLBnDipIzvn+ xs+YXaDAsC/xN4jXZ3GTnhMnHA5qkPwL/9tdjz5miPTAJWE1C8GTg9NOAGmikVgk B3DAhMczF2NwhSPKSDPwj/44nMpOBpgEs240P8cVf1+khTY/HpevDYALxKLcsOLP U4hZV9Cjde/EVEzjs0FS56+LQq3hNkot7XAqSnUB78OnXqV7AbfrT6S0BmAs3ex0 3T7qGoVRGtIgy1vu8k60jSxwx2F5sqOGHlVy4phiOqOovJlV6lc7mrcVfdSofkbd l/39ygAzW/J8g8DpaAFSy8JxetXClnDVs+gEmXg4TN1ql2FuqxG5Cdmxab8k80jt V389om3reWofSsjZmalYmqZJU2ssouxkUX9jMkxWwWHol8eC4o4draQWAbCm0g8U Ed7CoIly25i4gY6MPQAJBTxA0kHQG6OCuBFsdHzl0eLtgDTqWUJTzxTTi/rWOK2h jVryh/YgVfP7XnTsGQdWfcGQv9eI1f1nlSgdEYVhO63eb5E8A+uOYcEHTFr/M3uo ZvRW16c8Vhsit4c+zrU25eRFser/nPYcFLZJytKiiXc4rUInEgA= =5oJr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --BXVAT5kNtrzKuDFl--
