Installing on machine with only one USB port used WiFi

Installing on machine with only one USB port used WiFi

[Quiliro]

Hello...I am in a dilema. I only have one USB port and I don't have an onboard working libre WiFi. (I currently have Guix on top of Debian on the machine.) How can I install GuixSD in this case?

I think it could be possible to create a USB with all necesary packages already installed and make an installation with that which just copied the filesystem. What do you think?

Why not use a USB hub? They're available for under $10 CAD, and I can find
one for $2 if needed. There are many uses for one beyond installing GuixSD,
but this seems like a great first use.

I have just found that a USB hub I had works perfectly. I will install with that device. But I wonder what the solution would be in case it would be offline. All necesary packages would be a handy solution.
