You could install Guix on another operating system or on another computer, download the Guix source code and run in a terminal cd path/to/guix/source guix system disk-image --file-system-type=iso9660 \ gnu/system/install.scm The command is from here: https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Building-the-Installation-Image.html Regards, Florian ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Another option I believe I've used in the past is I've actually taken the HDD out of my macbook, installed to it, and then put it back inside the machine. -- Efraim Flashner <efraim@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted [-- Attachment #2: signature.asc --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 833 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Maybe it’s necessary in case a current installation image’s kernel may be too new. The 1.0.1 DVD should work, at least on an external DVD drive (my internal DVD drive fails at least sometimes). I cannot even use a current LTS kernel anymore on my 2010 Macbook, but I believe the reason is a defect in my Macbook’s GPU which I presume would not affect others, because there are error messages in dmesg and occasional crashes and system freezes in Blender and VLC too. I hope others do not need this, but this is why instead I use inferiors like https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-guix/2019-11/msg00143.html TL;DR affected machines are getting old, but can be made to work. > Another option I believe I've used in the past is I've actually taken > the HDD out of my macbook, installed to it, and then put it back inside > the machine. > You could also boot from e.g. a Debian USB flash drive, install and update Guix on it and perform a manual installation from such a Debian live system.
