No problem, you are welcome. Although it didn't cross my mind that it
would be considered a bug.

This sounds like a decent idea! If it's CLI tool that would be helpful
in automated installs.
And speaking of automated installs, would it be possible to add
lsh/openssh and wget to the USB install image?
Would be great if there was an ISO image as well. While seemingly old
fashioned tools like Packer (https://www.packer.io/) can use them to
automate image creation. ^_^
And one more question, is there a central place I can look to
find/research guile bindings?
Sincerely,
