Hello Guix!

I had criticism about the VM image:

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/system/examples/vm-image.tmpl

Namely that you have to manually set up networking, and then to manually
resize the image just to be able to run ‘guix pull’, is considered
inconvenient (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 be
small, if the disk is full of zero.

Thoughts?
