Subject: guix system init co-existing with other distros
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2016 19:26:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r3gg8o1u.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
Hi,
The people at Fosdem inspired me to move to GuixSD. I have tried
GuixSD with ratpoison, xfce and guile-wm (oh, how I'd love to get
another sawfish-like windowmanager!) but now moved from Ubuntu
to Debian-hosted with guix. For now.
I am using this snippet in (operatating-system) to multi-boot
(bootloader
(grub-configuration
(device "/dev/sda")
;; Here is my hack (grub-configuration appends bzImage to `linux')
;; to add a custom entry for debian on /dev/sda3 to the Grub menu
;; On Debian, do:
;; sudo mkdir -p /boot/latest
;; sudo ln -s $(ls -t /boot/vmlinuz*|head -1) /boot/latest/bzImage
;; sudo ln -s $(ls -t /boot/initrd*|head -1) /boot/latest/initrd
(menu-entries
(list (menu-entry
(label "debian")
(linux "(hd0,msdos3)/boot/latest")
(linux-arguments
'("root=UUID=73ede06b-19e0-4d09-bc1e-23fe6c76d77a ro"))
(initrd "(hd0,msdos3)/boot/latest/initrd"))))))
how are you all doing this? Can we/do we want to give almost-GuixSD
users a better experience?
Greetings,
Jan
