Hi there,

I'd like to re= quest some small changes be made on this page:

1. Authenticating on a foreign distro

Wh= en at the "make authenticate" stage of the build process on a for= eign distro, this fails because it cannot find guix.
I think it&#= 39;s because the `guix environment guix --pure' command doesn't inc= lude it, or obscures its path.

As a workaround, I = ran `PATH=3D/usr/local/bin/:$PATH make authenticate'

Seems simple enough, but might cause some trouble for inexperienced = users such as myself who might not know whether or not the environment comm= and was an optional step.

2. Easy fix for fail= ing `make check' tests

I had a few failing tes= ts on my foreign distro relating to setting locales.
Digging= around led me to this reddit thread for the solution:

H= ere they suggest running `sudo guix install glibc-locales` instead of as a = user.
Maybe this should be mentioned, since I'm not the = only one coming to GUIX from another distro.
