Hi Rene,

That=E2=80=99s good to know.  (I wouldn=E2=80=99t use dd to upgrade a syste=
m, but =E2=80=9Cguix
system reconfigure=E2=80=9D.)

What patches did you apply?  Are you using GDM or SLIM?

When I tested the packages I was not able to start the graphical user
interface.

You can use =E2=80=9C/home/remi/guix/pre-inst-env guix system reconfigure =
=E2=80=A6=E2=80=9D.

I don=E2=80=99t know!
