Perhaps “(typically @file{/etc/config.scm})” should go next to
“@var{file} must be …”?
But if the person doesn’t read more than a few lines of the page, it
won’t help.
I was thinking we could have “guix system reconfigure” without arguments
pick up /run/current-system/configuration.scm. Perhaps that’d help?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
