Gottfried, One way to do this is to use images to copy the entire hard drive or individual partitions to a new location, which preserves all your data and configurations. I have done that many times using Clonezilla. https://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php[1] On Tuesday, May 23, 2023 6:0

I believe I understand what is happening now, and it is the result of the way guix releases software and not a bug in my configuration. I put all of the packages in my system configuration into a manifest and ran `guix weather` against it, and it said that only 85% of packages have substitutes avai
