Re: Encountering Issues during GUIX installation on Virtual Machine

[Julien Lepiller <julien@lepiller.eu>]

Hi,

Nothing we can do about ubuntu not finding your usb drive.

For 2, did the installation system say the installation was successful? If so, did you remove the iso from the VM? Virtualbox should fave a menu for that. I think your issue is simply that the CD drive has priority over the virtual disk?
