I am testing the 0.8 Guix release as announced. Installation went pretty
smooth from USB. Noticed network devices are now renamed to "unique"
names. Fine, but one should be careful when starting networking and "eth0"
is missing.
Just tried
guix package -i mc
to test it. Without substitutes this fails after long build at dependency
"perl after 3600 seconds of silent". There is plenty of disk space this
time (200GB) but I am probably still missing something essential to use
guix as source based distro.
From substitutes "mc" installs OK.
