Re: GNU Icecat crashed tab

[nightowl <nightowl@members.fsf.org>]

I have been trying to upgrade the icecat package.  I am using the 'guix 
system reconfigure' command, but seem to be running out of disk space.  
It is also starting to compile some things instead of using substitutes, 
but maybe I need to wait for the servers to settle down.  Currently 
after running garbage collection, my installation is still about 17GB on 
a 20GB partition.  I have several generations of past configurations, so 
would it be possible to free up space by removing some of the past 
generations?  How would that be done, I do not see a command for doing 
that?
