Unfortunately, building the ISO image has broken since I was successfully using it [1]. One other issue I was thinking of recently was the size of the image. I checked an ISO of the installation system I generated a while ago, and it's 1.1GB in size. A actual CD can only hold 0.7GB of data. This might be something that just needs documenting, saying that this is for a DVD, and not a CD, or, it the size could be reduced so that it fits on a CD. When I build the installation system, and run guix size, it says 1031.0 MiB, so I guess looking at the breakdown there and trying to reduce it would be a way to start, if this is a worthwhile objective. I don't have any use for a physical CD installation image, so if anyone is interested in having this, now is the time to say so? 1: guix system disk-image --file-system-type=3Diso9660 gnu/system/install.scm error: changing mode of `/tmp/root//gnu/store/jjna4ivyidxfq40mq78g97yzg0wfzcqy-shadow-4.5/bin/su' to 100555: Operation not permitted ERROR: In procedure scm-error: ERROR: failed to register store items "/xchg/system" --Sig_/=qBcX6DnAt=RsQJp+=CjKhV Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQKTBAEBCgB9FiEEPonu50WOcg2XVOCyXiijOwuE9XcFAlnWhZ1fFIAAAAAALgAo aXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3BlbnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldDNF ODlFRUU3NDU4RTcyMEQ5NzU0RTBCMjVFMjhBMzNCMEI4NEY1NzcACgkQXiijOwuE 9Xd7Hg//Wrgd2QGVmZqabZC2SoJyUNdw7Thv3P/xGAUUdAu7F0nUXzLXUUzZFaum nJREAqwPwIu4UTZ/il9mn2UZhFGxvsLqiRmfprqOJwBYHGWWyz9UWDvySc5PXLDV Dao3Or8voBixU7Pd+vLOhYcmyYjvQLlNtQM6V/Pxf0Eo5iY9ZA2uIelN0uya7DIG ljGTvrSYEZ2N2oBnGl262eEyroGCKyt19K1ex9IzyLjHCYxGJAQYrTUateN6U2gS hd4Vo8UZTavciSyF2DYTkk5sNvZ7FI9Ive7BTXwXuxqk0rOjHR/+ZXQMrpLG80qH t3/6CSkuL08pzG3eSdSVZ+YrUhxGytX9KrOJORyXUp4r1mXl0nFjXpy1r477lVUN mTVq6IkopGsh8xZsE47V7DkbtOOKqNtUpoJdvVUuf81CyNeN+rxz9MXah5QRthW9 FhszCbuGxaj5GvxDJQ1IbcV0jRBRlhjYDAUofL91hM/EVjvdBRrGjP0VjvrlyMRE ZYo1lXKy5Vat0UEv1hLOFYf+nDJqjKHfxHwM3Iw75tje+TK2LVYl3keCDViI92P4 x3RuxnHGjZFTRPPqdxT2aCAGMCwvLnqmgxaj+9B7x0V8oB/whhywB3c0tbFUMETm LCzYzKrJcL1kVRwXDUUWp9U7UDexJCSo12ahPcQMky+rkgRY9zk= =IwL+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/=qBcX6DnAt=RsQJp+=CjKhV--
