I have used guix on top of a Debian distribution for some time, but with the release I wanted to try and install it on its own. I'm trying to install guix on my system. I have the 1.0.1 patch, but I had the same problem with 1.0.0. I already have a debian system with an encrypted drive, and I would like to erase it with an encrypted Guix system with a separate /home partition. I have chosen my language (fran=C3=A7ais). My location (France). I have chosen the graphical installer. I have chosen my timezone (Europe / Paris). I have chosen my keyboard (Fran=C3=A7ais / Fran=C3=A7ais (sans touche morte= Sun): this one seems to be correct but I don't have much information. It would be awesome if I could test it in a text box). I have chosen the guided installation with encryption. I have chosen my hard drive, the only option: ATA WDC WD15EARS-60M (scsi) /dev/sda 1500 GB gpt I have chosen the option to have a separate /home. And then I get the exception. I copy it from another keyboard, but I hope that I copied it correctly.

I can retry the installation to help debugging that, but I need simple instructions :) Best regards, Vivien
