Yes, if you want :)

I didn't want to fuck up the wip-installer branch so I created a new one 
starting from master, merged all the wip-installer commits into wip-installer-2 
as far as possible (took a lot of manual conflict resolution) and edited the 
branch until the installer worked again.  Then I added some new stuff.

Good question.  I'm not sure.

John adapted the gnu/system/install.scm - installation-os to add an invocation 
of the graphical installer.

Hydra does (system-disk-image installation-os
                                          #:disk-image-size
                                          (* 1024 MiB))))).

Try doing the same in the Guile interpreter, like so:

guile -L .
,use (gnu system vm)
,use (gnu system install)
(system-disk-image installation-os #:disk-image-size (* 1024 MiB)))))

But I think that's a monadic value and one would still call run-with-store with 
some store and the result?
