An idea crossed my mind: from a foreign distribution with Guix
installed, run
guix system init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt
The documentation tells us that's not enough though:
> With the target partitions ready and the target root mounted on ‘/mnt’,
> we’re ready to go. First, run:
>
> herd start cow-store /mnt
>
> This makes ‘/gnu/store’ copy-on-write, such that packages added to it

Is there a simple way to do this without `herd'?
