Yes, though again it=E2=80=99s difficult because any change in the config m= ay lead to additional downloads. > - It seems that after this error, grub still got (half-) installed, > because i could not boot anymore :-( Fell into grub rescue> which > used to be just great once, but now I could not load a kernel there, > because of "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color" not found" :-( So you did a =E2=80=98guix system init=E2=80=99 that failed with the error = above, and then you rebooted and got a broken GRUB? Unless I=E2=80=99m mistaken, a =E2=80=9Cbuild failed=E2=80=9D error prevent= s the rest of the installation, including GRUB install, from happening. Not sure what happened. Thanks for your feedback!
