Now another trouble that I encounter during the installation is that the shadow package is no installed on my machine, and thus I don't have access to the ‘passwd’ command in order to set a root password and proceed w/ installation thru ssh. Is this a deliberate choice to leave out this package from the installation media or a bug? It's not that important as I'm installing shadow via ‘guix package -i’ ATM but it takes time (compiles stuff) unnecessarily. Cheers, gk.
