As discussed earlier on the list, it would be nice™ to see why these images are so big and what can be done about it. Really, 1 GiB is already a lot for such a small image. In commit 040ae1881952c90dae9478e5cfff6aad0ce950da, I ended up increasing the image size for the tests, which is not great IMO. I looked at ‘guix size’ and couldn’t find any obvious way to improve things. One problem with the installation OS is that it’s pulling ALSA and all sorts of sound-related libraries (libsamplerate, etc.), which clearly is unnecessary in the installation image. That comes from the alsa-utils udev rules. We could remove those udev rules, but since they’re in %base-services, I chose not to do that to avoid breaking everyone’s config. Food for thought! Ludo’.
