There must be a way= around this since it probably searches in /bin and /usr/bin, but their is = a way to go around it if you could add the path /gnu/store/*xterm(or whatev= er*/bin/xterm(or whatever

I'm trying to install guix on my laptop(finally got the thinkpenguin wi= fi
card), after reading through the manual, I have everything setup, except there are a couple bumps on the road.

One of the things is that during system initialization, the (gnu system
networking) module returns an error which reads "guix system: error: f= ailed
to load operating system file '/mnt/etc/config.scm': (misc-error #f= "~A ~S"
("no code for module" (gnu system networking)) #f)
and that kind of makes things really annoying to manually restart
networking every reboot.

 Are you sure you included a proper module(s)?
(use-modules (gnu)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(gnu services ssh)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(gnu services networking) =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(gnu services xorg)
=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0)

(btw use guix system reconfigure /config.scm if you have already installed = system)

Another thing is that is sort of a problem is during a windowmaker X
session, all my graphical applications(xterm, icecat, etc), are not listed<= br> in the application menu and are not runnable, and I would think it has
something to do with user permissions, but an X session in root also
doesn't let me run them.

 This I experince too. In my opinion the reason is, that applications are in= stalled per user and the path to them is just in your ~/.guix-profile/. I a= m not sure how WM searches for them, but definitely not in ~/.guix-profile,= but I am not sure about this.


The last thing is that I have not found any meta-packages, which allow me to install multiple packages that are needed for the same program, like for=
instance, there is gcc, make, cmake, and all the bread-and-butter build
programs, but you have to name each in the "guix package -i *" de= claration
to install, but if there was some metapackage, like buildessential (I come<= br> from Debian).


That last peeve is really just a missing feature, I do understand that it will take some time to implement and I'm not really demanding it, just<= br> extremely recommending it. But the first 2 are definitely problems that I really hope someone could help me with.
