Hi,

Mathieu Othacehe <m.othacehe@gmail.com> skribis:

I would rather not override =E2=80=98linux-libre=E2=80=99.  I find it quite=
 useful to be
able to =E2=80=98guix system vm=E2=80=99 with a custom kernel; that=E2=80=
=99s one of the things
one might want to test in a VM before rebooting.

What was the use case and rationale for you?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
