(notice: I only tried until the installer generated the /etc/config.scm file). Glad to hear that :). > 2. I found a problem: if, during the manual partitioning, you delete a free space (by mistake), the installation crashes (see picture) and you have to start again from the beginning (language choice). I had the same problem with the official 1.3 installation image. > > Besides, I have three things to share (either with the 1.2, 1.3 or the one tested today). I hesitated to do three separate emails, but I may have misunderstood something about the installation process and don't want to pollute the guix email. No that's a legitimate bug report! Could you please send a mail to bug-guix@gnu.org about that one, so that it is easier for us to track it? > A. About the time zone configuration: when you start the installation process from a reboot, you have to select the city with the arrows (and not by typing the first letter of the city: example Europe/Zurich) but when you interrupt an installation and start again from the beginning (= > the choice of the installation language), when you get to the choice of the time zone, you can type in the first letter of the city and the installer selects directly the city that starts with this letter. It is not a problem concerning the choice of the time zone but rather that the process > of resuming the installation from the language does probably not completely start from the beginning (?). I just wanted to point it out. That's strange, letter based selection is supposed to be active from the start, I'll check why. > B. I would find it very useful if the installer offered to set up a print cups service when selecting services. Editing the /etc/config.scm file to set up cups is the first thing I do after any installation. It has been reported here: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/38161. We should definitely add it. > C. About the choice of the keyboard layout "fr_CH.utf8": strangely (i.e. contrary to debian installer for example), you have to choose "German (Switzerland)" first and then the variant "French (Switzerland)". It is not intuitive to choose a "French (Switzerland)" keyboard in the > "German (Switzerland)" category. The debian installer proposes directly the keyboard "fr_CH.utf8" when you choose the regional settings Switzerland / French. We are following the structure dictated by the xkeyboard-layout package, I don't remember exactly how the Debian installer deals with it, but I'll check it. Thanks for your help, Mathieu
