After setting up the network, I start the SSH server through herd start ssh-daemon as described on https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Preparing-for-Installation.html . Then I want to set the root password. The manual tells me to use passwd, but Bash returns "command not found". There is also no ssh-keygen to create SSH keys. Additionally, it could be useful if the scp or ssh were available from the installation prompt. SSH in either direction would give me a way to copy config.scm to a system where I can e-mail from. That would be useful, because I am having problems installing GuixSD (unionfs of 2.1G gets full during guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt --fallback; the last option was suggested by guix when it couldn't fetch some package). -Marco
