Hello all,
The Guix manual installation section at
http://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/System-Installation.html
says the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An installation image for USB sticks can be downloaded from
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/gnu-usb-install-0.7.system.xz, where system is one
of:
x86_64-linux
for a GNU/Linux system on Intel/AMD-compatible 64-bit CPUs;
i686-linux
for a 32-bit GNU/Linux system on Intel-compatible CPUs.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, after I constructed the following URL, I got a "file not found" error:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/guix/gnu-usb-install-0.7.x86_64-linux.xz
It turns out the filenames lack the -linux suffix as mentioned in the
manual. davexunit on IRC mentioned that the manual is probably good, so
the files on FTP should be changed by someone with the required access.
Cheers,
Peter

Oops, indeed. I’ve just created symlinks on the FTP server.
Thanks for the report,
Ludo’.
