I’m glad booting works.

Except probably with (menu-entry …). > Of course now the next issues arise, like "how do I configure postfix > under guix" If you want Postfix to run an e-mail server: Is this on a VPS, so you have a static IP? AFAIK there is not yet a postfix service for Guix, only Exim and OpenSMTPd. But maybe someone has written a Guix channel for Postfix outside the main Guix repo. I’m not sure, but maybe it would be better to configure Postfix with traditional configuration files and only start it automatically on boot with a custom Shepherd service (see the syslogd example at `info "(guix) Shepherd Services"`). Or imitate the Exim service in the Guix repo. > and what is the right way to make my keyboard layout known > to the system (so far I have added a few lines (a variant) to the > /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us file, wich is now hidden somewhere in the > guix-store)? You need to change the value of (keyboard-layout …) in your operating system configuration (by default /etc/config.scm). See the examples at `info "(guix) Keyboard Layouts"`. > Guix configuration is really very different from other > *ix'es. Are packages configurable at all without writing scheme-modules > for them? An where would this configuration go? In Scheme code in your operating system configuration (/etc/config.scm) or in your package manifest, you can add your own package records in-place or you can use a module in which you defined them. It is probably best to look at the packages in the Guix repo. For example you can use the command `guix edit hello` to look at GNU Hello’s package. The Guix cookbook contains a packaging tutorial. > Is everything hidden in > some directories in the gnu store? Yes, kind of. Guix manages the directories /gnu, /var/guix, ~/.config/guix and on Guix System a few more like /run/current-system. Regards, Florian
