Yes i do know this, But whats different between what guix is doing and others are doing (examples i gave above), They give you access to GUI of their distro without internet and from within this live GUI access to the distro you can configure the internet/partition..etc (easily specially for first time users) using GUI tools without internet (you can even test the distro without the need to install it) Thats what im requesting not what is currently happening. > Did you try the live VM image? > > https://guix.gnu.org/en/download/ What? where? > I’m closing because I don’t see anything actionable. Please file issues > focused on specific problems. Guix need to improve itself when first time initiated, Please check other projects like NixOS,Triskel,Mint,Ubuntu...etc If you dont like that live graphical gui access, then do it as debian is doing it which give you proper gui screen specifically intended to configure your internet then you can proceed with the installation. Otherwise guix is useless case specially for new users in places where internet need to be configured manually (adding IP,Gateway,Netmask... manually).
