I've tried many combinations, but can't accomplish this simple task= =2E=20 I understand I can install the system with a working sysconfig=2Escm and t= hen install the packages manually via =E2=80=9Cguix package -i=E2=80=9D but= I think they all can be defined in sysconfig=2Escm, just can't figure out = how, even though I'm trying to get hints in the manual=2E Or am I wrong in = this?=20 Also, when installing from the USB, after booting the USB, can I =E2=80=9C= guix pull=E2=80=9D and then install the system? Or do I have to first insta= ll, then boot it, then =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D, meaning I couldn't mayb= e put all package definitions in the install sysconfig=2Escm, as the packag= es might not be available before =E2=80=9Cguix pull=E2=80=9D?=20 -- =E7=99=BD=E3=81=84=E7=86=8A @=E7=9B=B8=E6=92=B2=E9=81=93
