Guix,

[This is for after 1.0.1, but I'd forget otherwise.]

This happened to a new user on IRC tonight, and I understand their=20
logic.  After guided partitioning (using the installer),=20
installation failed, and they decided to continue manually.=20
Here's where they started:

  3.6 Manual Installation
  =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

  =E2=80=A6

  * Menu:

  * Keyboard Layout and Networking and Partitioning:: Initial=20
  setup.
  * Proceeding with the Installation::  Installing.

Having just =E2=80=98partitioned=E2=80=99, they =E2=80=98proceeded=E2=80=99=
.  The first task in=20
that section is =E2=80=98herd start cow-store=E2=80=99, which fails because=
 /mnt=20
isn't mounted yet.  According to our manual, that's also part of=20
=E2=80=98partitioning=E2=80=99.  Eh.  I get why, but would prefer to reorga=
nise=20
this a bit to make such errors less likely.

Kind regards,

T G-R
