Few notes to 0.8

[Adam Pribyl]

I have now, with the help of people from this list, running installation, 
with more or less complete config.scm. Guix gets better with every 
version.

Still I do have few "user" hickups:

1. even thou networking and lsh-service are configured, networking does 
not start, "deco status networking" prints it is running and is e.g. PID 
186, but there is no such process... weird as it should respawn.

2. during boot the system twice sets the console font, each time to a 
different one (this is not always reproducible). Minor.

3. fstab is not "used", I am not sure how to mount additional file systems 
and swap.

4. I do not have e.g. /root/.guix-profile/sbin in PATH by default, not 
sure why.

5. still strugglig in how to install a package for global use, probably 
only thru a "guix system reconfigure" otherwise every user has to do a 
"guix package -i" to get the app into his profile.

6. I am still not able to add any service myself, if there is at least 
something like rc.local available, it would be fine to have a last resort 
to start anything upon boot.

7. Not sure how to properly add a user (again guix system reconfigure 
would help), as useradd makes the usuall unix user, but is missing some 
other things like a build directory...
