Testing Pre-Release Graphical Installer 1.4

[Matias Jose Seco Baccanelli]

Morning Guixers!
Following the ml news i read that a new release is upcoming
(1.4 right? exciting!),
Actually i wanted to tryout the graphical installer for testing, should
i simply download the "x86-64" iso of "GNU Guix System on Linux" at the
"download > latest" to have the most recent version of it ?
Thanks!
Happy Hacking,
Matias

Yep!  The ‘latest’ ISO is built from current ‘master’.

Whilst there is a ‘version-1.4.0’ branch, it's quite dated and I'd 
wager that ‘master’ is much currently closer to what will 
eventually become Guix 1.4.0.

If you have Guix installed, you can easily build[0] an installer 
from any commit you like — including your own commits.

Kind regards,

T G-R

The later will be closer to what is going to be in the next release, so
please try that :-).

Thank you!
