Hello Guix!

AFAICS the main installation-related issues have now been fixed.  Please
build an ISO image of the installer and give it a try in a VM or on the
bare metal!

  https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/en/html_node/Building-the-Instal=
lation-Image.html

To try install from the ISO image in a VM, you can do:

  qemu-img create -f qcow2 /tmp/t.img 3G
  OPTS=3D"-m 512 -net user -hda /tmp/t.img -bios $(guix build ovmf)/share/f=
irmware/ovmf_x64.bin"
  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -net user -net nic,model=3Dvirtio  \
     $OPTS -cdrom /gnu/store/=E2=80=A6-image.iso -boot d

(=E2=80=98-bios=E2=80=99 is for an UEFI install; you can omit it.)

There are 2 remaining issues in the installer that would be nice to fix:

  1. Bug with the WiFi selection dialog boxes:
     <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35620>.  Ideas, Mathieu?

  2. Keymap file issue when restarting(?) the installer:
     <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35690>,
     <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35543>.

#1 may have a simple fix.  #2 less so.  WDYT, Mathieu?

Either way, we should release in the coming days, so if we cannot
address them real soon, I=E2=80=99d argue that we should go ahead, so that
people get all the other installer fixes we=E2=80=99ve worked on.

Thoughts?

Bonus question for Julien: should we do another round of translations
for the bits that have changed here and there in the manual?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
