Clean installation took many hours. Problems:
1. Need downgrade system config (as example initrd modules syntax, I forgot
about it)
2. After first 'guix pull' - error as in Thread "Error: system: command not
found." Fixed with repeat guix pull.
3. Initial 'system reconfigure' fails at final (error with retrieving one
derivation - "Network error"?), repeat wit --fallback.
4. Initial 'guix pull' in non-root account, using one processor core (this
was necessary) took more than FOUR HOURS!
5. A lot of questions on building heavy packages from source and of the
final set of packages (mariadb? Is this really the right system package??)
I will not risk repeating this! =) But maybe something could be done more
correctly? Any recommendations?

HI Jone.
What config did you use? I see you've been on the list for some time so I'm
guessing your config contains more than the barebones or similar.
A few things that may help, of the top of my head; without knowing more:
Use a package manifest and trim down anything not strictly necessary from the
packages in system config to the user manifest. Examples from my
configuration - manifest:
https://notabug.org/thomassgn/guixsd-configuration/src/master/usr-pkg-manifest.scm
How I "install" it:
https://notabug.org/thomassgn/guixsd-configuration/src/master/Makefile#L17
(this setup/makefile is currently fairly borked and buggy, but 'make p'
currently works as intended) :-)
Comment out anything else not necessary to get a basic system up and running
in your system config, like services and others. I find it much more pleasant
fiddling with "extras" when I have a mostly working system.
Hope that helps.

Hi Tonton.
> I'm guessing your config contains more than the barebones or similar.
Yes, but the differences are not great: %base-packages, some others that I
want to see as system-wide
(like emacs, perl, alsa, xrandr) and a couple of mcron-jobs. And another
important function
that copies the current config to /etc (IMHO this should be the default!)
I'll read your advice, but it'll take time. I already asked some questions
in the next message here.
