The USB image booted and my OS configuration was valid, but the installation failed. Due to hydra.gnu.org being unresponsive, Guix tried to compile Guix 0.6 and ran out of memory while doing so (no swap space). Since hydra seems to always be under a lot of stress, I wonder if I should set up another machine of mine to serve substitutes or even just offload builds so that my installation can complete. Is this relatively easy to set up? -- David Thompson Web Developer - Free Software Foundation - http://fsf.org GPG Key: 0FF1D807 Support the FSF: https://fsf.org/donate
