Hi,

If I read the gpg output correctly, then it downloaded okay.  My experience
with gpg is limited, so here is the exact output of --verify:

mintty screen dump

$ gpg --verify guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso.xz.sig
         gpg: assuming signed data in

The SHA512 I generated was:

mintty screen dump

$ sha512sum guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso
         5b295c0db41c8ea896fc7eb693d25c311d473cbcc0ee95b959b2b63a8026a604f19d2f3299b1dc1451fc99459639a2f8d340204a5946bc5f921a402bf11bb8e3
*guix-system-install-1.0.0.x86_64-linux.iso


Regarding the "retry" option in the installer, I can't say whether or not I
used it.  I attempted several times with various configurations and don't
recall the specific one which produced the output I gave you.

Anecdotally, I can say that "Unable to locate keymap" error occurred
whenever MATE was selected for my DE.  I was able to complete the install
without a problem for GNOME, Enlightenment, and OpenBox.

Thank you for assisting me,
Matt
