When booted, this installer=20 skips any steps which have been preconfigured, which allows for=20 either fully automated installation, or partly automated (prompt=20 for hostname and root password, but otherwise automatic). Does Guix have a way to do something like this? The declarative=20 config is more or less the equivalent of the Debian preseed file,=20 but I don=E2=80=99t see anything that lets you build an image that=E2=80=99= ll=20 install a configuration. I see there=E2=80=99s `guix deploy', but that requires an=20 already-installed GuixSD to work, which isn=E2=80=99t helpful for getting=20 it installed in the first place. Thanks, =E2=80=94 Ian
