Hello,
If this can refer to the qemu vm image available for download on the guix website. I've got some thoughts to chime in.
I think some scripts/info for walking through the setup could help a bunch if bundled in the image like how other distros do (thinking of Slackware or Ubuntu as an example).
A script like the one for installing/setup of Guix could solve some of this well and can be as simple as downloading the image and prompting for resize.
I'll quickly add that instructions to login with 'root' would help too. As a beginner who tried the vm image I felt lost at the login prompt.
Maybe different 'versions' can be made available or as options during a hypothetical setup that each include different packages/configuration s? Minimal, Desktop, Server, etc. (Thinking of Ubuntu and Slackware again)
Sincerely,
Daniel Jiang
Hello Guix!I had criticism about the VM image: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmplNamely that you have to manually set up networking, and then to manuallyresize the image just to be able to run ‘guix pull’, is consideredinconvenient (rightly so).Would it be an option to install connman or something in the image?What about making the image bigger? I would expect the QCOW2 file to besmall, if the disk is full of zero.Thoughts?Ludo’.
