One clear way is that AFAIR there's no documented way (yet) to pass '--rem= ovable' to grub-install, so you'll have to manually rename the grub=2Eefi = to bootx64=2Eefi=2E Annoying but doable=2E By 'older and newer laptops', do you mean that you expect Guix to install = and maintain both a UEFI and a BIOS GRUB at once? I don't think multiple b= ootloaders are easy to configure (yet) in Guix, but this too should be poss= ible to support=2E There's also the 'read-only OS image' definition of live system, as create= d by # guix system image -t iso9660 system=2Escm used to create the Guix System installer=2E Unless you declare, e=2Eg=2E,= a writable /home partition, all changes will be lost on reboot=2E My guess is that's not what you want and it's not 'self-contained' in that= it can't update itself=2E Kind regards, T G-R Sent on the go=2E Excuse or enjoy my brevity=2E
