Re: Come back and graphical installer

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi Mathieu,

I gave the installer a try in ‘guix system vm’ from commit
2bc8f10a35f24ecfa9f0be6b1e26b4f7af0a275c: impressive piece of work!

I agree with most of Thorsten’s suggestions, but I think we can address
them incrementally.  It’s already nice IMO.

In ‘guix system vm’ the process stopped after trying to use “wired”
network.  At that point I realized I couldn’t switch to other VCs using
Alt-F2 & co.  Is that something specific to kmscon?  Anything we can do
about it?

I think it’d be nice to have the new installer UI on tty1 and yet be
able to just switch to root terminals or the manual on the other VCs.

Thank you!

Ludo’.
