Great, thanks! So far, I have been upgrading the machine to Debian buster. There are scripts to do so here, prepared by a person formerly active on the Guix list as well: https://github.com/novena-next/docs But essentially "apt-get dist-upgrade" first to stretch and then to buster work. So the next step will be to backup the sd card using dd... As for installing the Guix system on arm machines, I am quite lost. The installer does not work, or does it? Apart from that, I only know the dirty way of installing the Guix package manager and running a "guix system init", thus interleaving the new system with Debian remainders. Are there better ways? In this special case of a build machine, we did not want to run the build on the (moreover small) sd card, so we bind mounted (why that? a normal mount would have been enough, I think) /tmp and /gnu/store from an external hard drive. That should be handable in the standard way by a file-systems entry, I suppose. Or maybe simply mount the complete / from the external hard drive? That should even be compatible with the dirty "guix system init" approach, I think. Your thoughts are welcome. Thanks, Andreas
