This time I wanted it on a Librem 13" [instead of Macbook Air][so i can enj= oy the libre wifi] I wanted to have Guix installed next to my already installed Linux Mint. So I created usb live Guix os I booted into the usb Got to the bit when it asks about Partitioning method choose the Manual, cr= eated two partitions 1 50.00GB ext4 / 70.00GB Free space When i was about to continue Format disk? it said we are about to format yo= ur hard disk. All its data will be lost Do you wish to continue? I promptly clicked exit then the installation menu window appeared and i clicked Abort it took me to local language window where again i clicked exit so this cycle of going form one menu to another Locale language window -> click exit -> installation menu window -> click A= bort -> Local language -> click exit -> locale language menu window->click = exit -> abort ad infinitum so I did the only thing I could and that was switching the machine of form = the power button. Now I want to boot back to my Linux Mint and the system is stuck it says Booting from Hard Disk... And nothing happens When I then boot again to the live usb stick with Guix on it - the previous= partitioning is till there available as if nothing has happened. This sounds strange to me. And of course now I cannot boot to my machine. Not good. [not the end of the world as well because i have a back up and an= other live usb with linux mint on it and it boots fine] Sherab Just like an experience in a dream Everything I now enjoy Will become a mere recollection For what has past will not be seen again Sent from ProtonMail, encrypted email based in Switzerland.
