Hi guys!
In section 7.1.4 of the info displayed at Alt+F2 terminal, it is better to suggest the user to mount bind /tmp/ under /mnt/tmp2 so as to have more free space in case the user needs to build from source, for example, when using "--fallback" option in "guix system" command.
That is because when I did "guix system --falback init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt", the build failed after about 15 hours because there was no more space in /tmp.
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.

This problem was reported earlier at
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2016-05/msg00967.html>
and fixed in commit 0adabad72d58492f08975af0b6b837ebde32a51b.
Thanks!
