Possibly out of scope, but, I have found that there are many ways to
install Guix. It would help to simplify this. what if this installer
could do something like this:
Examine the environment & determine the possible ways that Guix and/or
GuixSD can be installed and then walk the user through choices:
- netboot?
- fdisk & GuixSD?
- GNU/Linux system?
- ?root user?
- install Guix?
- put GuixSD netboot on USB?
- install GuixSD to disk?
- install GuixSD dual boot?
- running in user space?
- guix installed?
- set up git clone?
- guix not present?
- can you sudo?
- yes - got to '?root user' above
- no
- install Guix in user space?
- put GuixSD netboot on USB?
At the end of the process, the user-lever user should have a functioning
Guix setup in which all guix features described in the manual are
working, (except those requiring root, e.g. guix system reconfigure).
