In my opinion, the installation media needs 2 features: Colemak and
wireless instructions.

Colemak is not very widely used, but I'm not in charge of that, so I don't
know if it'll happen. While wireless right now is in the works. And I would
expect it to be in by 0.9.

FWIW I'm a Colemak user too. Seems we have at least 2-3 of them on Guix
already. :P

And it is in GSD as well. Do you mean you can't switch your console
layout using "loadkeys colemak"? If so, then the problem is that the
upstream names this layout "en-latin9", so as a "workaround" you can try
"loadkeys en-latin9".
I don't know what is the policy of the other distros, but for example
"Arch Linux" just renames "en-latin9" into "colemak"
(https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/kbd).
Perhaps it would be better for us to modify a recipe for "kbd" package
to make a symlink "…/share/keymaps/i386/colemak/colemak.map.gz" that
would point to "en-latin9.map.gz". What do people think?
Or do you mean anything else when you say that Colemak feature is missing?
P.S. I use dvorak :-)

No, that's what I meant. I will try that workaround on my next
installation. Thanks for the info

This worked.
Thanks
Mark Weaver also told me to see 6.2.3 in the manual to change the
partition label setting to UUID. I learned to do this in case their are
multiple partitions with the same label.

Unfortunately, although manual section 6.2.3 documents that 'title' can
be 'uuid', it's not yet implemented. See 'canonicalize-device-spec' in
gnu/build/file-systems.scm:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(case canonical-title
((device)
;; Nothing to do.
spec)
((label)
;; Resolve the label.
(let loop ((count 0))
(let ((device (find-partition-by-label spec)))
(or device
;; Some devices take a bit of time to appear, most notably USB
;; storage devices. Thus, wait for the device to appear.
(if (> count max-trials)
(error "failed to resolve partition label" spec)
(begin
(format #t "waiting for partition '~a' to appear...~%"
spec)
(sleep 1)
(loop (+ 1 count))))))))
;; TODO: Add support for UUIDs.
(else
(error "unknown device title" title))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think we should stick to upstream, except if it turns out that
unanimously massively contradicts upstream.
