Hello everyone,
I'm trying to install Guix 1.0.1.i686 on my old 1,6GHz, 1 GB RAM netbook.
The installation hags during the "copying to /mnt" part. Is there a way for me to troubleshoot the installation?
Is my hardware too old for the installation to work?

Hell, did you use the graphical installer? Maybe you can switch the
console by "Ctrl-Alt-F2" etc?

I think it's fine, but 1G RAM may not be enough, you can try setup a
swap first.

Yes, I used the graphical installer. I tried pressing "Ctrl-Alt-F2" etc, but nothing happens.

Thanks for the tip, I'll try that.

hi,
how much you wait?, maybe take a lot time.
i think you must do a shell installation, but before install enable swap
2GB partition manually.

The copying progressed fairly quickly until it stopped and didn't budge for, like several hours.

That's what I'm trying to do right now, but I'm getting errors with my config.scm file. I pasted it at https://bin.privacytools.io/?d83007f4078192ad#XiaRi8vM3PKN0cYV2kSclA1h5ZEe, the password is "myconfigfile".
Ii seems I can't get the parentheses right.

Ooops, I pasted the link wrong. It should be: https://bin.privacytools.io/?d83007f4078192ad#XiaRi8vM3PKN0cYV2kSclA1h5ZEe/FjZMkDp2ztZSk8=

I tried installing Guix again, this time I set up swap, an ssh server and went with graphical install, so the config.scm wasn't an issue. I ran "top" over ssh during the whole process and what it tells me is that when the system hung the RAM usage was around 50% and SWAP almost wasn't used.
When I try to install a bare system without X, the installation invariably hangs while copying files to /mnt.
When I try to install a system with Enlightenment, the installation invariably hangs while building "sqlite-with-column-metadata".
