Hi, I confirm it was with the 1.3.0 installer. I have since downloaded the
snapshot installer but I haven't tested it yet. However I would need to be
careful testing because this time around I have created raw unformatted
partitions in Windows disk manager because it annoys me how different Linux
disk utilities round numbers differently. The guix installer views 64 GB as
68.7 GB and entering 68.7 there to create a matching 64 creates 63.98 GB
instead. I suppose I would need to run it twice again with the 1.3 first. Once
to see if just formatting a windows created raw partition fixes it and once
with a filesystem that isn't ext4 then the snapshot. My partition table is
standard. 100 meg efi, 128 meg Microsoft reserved partiton, two NTFS
partitions, the two ext4s I was attempting to create in unallocated space and a
linux swap partition already created. Incidentally, the reboot command in F1
doesn't work either. Just black screens. Need to hold the power button
down.Best,PeterSent from my Galaxy

confirm it was with the 1.3.0 installer?It would seem that the bug comes from
