Hi Guixers,

I am very thankful for all the Guixers who worked and are working for 
Guix, also for the manual...

because against all hope I was able to install the Guix package manager 
on another laptop on top of Trisquel on the basis of the manual.

I am wondering myself that I was able to understand the manual and step 
by step I did what it said.
Even sometimes there were messages of failures but at the end everything 
worked. (I had to look up for solutions  on the web several times, but 
at the end it was successful)

1.  As far as I understand it I have to do

guix pull

and a

guix package -u

but no

sudo guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

because there is no /etc/config.scm file

Is that right?


Where is the relevant file for the guix package manager I installed?


2.  Do I regularly have to do a "sudo guix pull" for root?

or is it enough that I did it once for setting up guix?



Kind regards

Gottfried
