Hi John,

I built the new GuixSD installer upon kmscon. It works pretty well and
is a good alternative to raw linux VT's in my opinion.

modify-services implies that there's already a kmscon service in
%desktop-services, which is not the case. Plus 'kmscon is not a proper
service type.

You might prefer to write something like (not tested):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(cons* (service kmscon-service-type
                  (kmscon-configuration
                    (virtual-terminal "tty8")))
        %desktop-services)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Mathieu
