Hello!
I'm confused about fundamental definitions from the manual.
> Possibly one of the most harmless, but certainly by far the
biggest binary seed that all software distributions inject are the
so [called] bootstrap binary seed. Bootstrap binaries are the
initial binary seeds that are used to start building the
distribution. --

This definition of bootstrap binary seeds confused me because
Also, in reading section 1.4 I didn't come away knowing what a full source bootstrap even is. Does that mean you reproduce the hex0 binary, and then use progressive stages to eventually reproduce the source code for a version of Guix? Or does it mean that you reproduce an exact disk image for an OS for the same CPU architecture as the hex program, with a copy of the Guix source ready to go on that system?
