When the configuration is edited, it looks like there are some leftover
fragments from the input configuration:
Example content of config.scm after edition:
#:imported-modules
'((gnu services herd)
(guix build utils)
(guix combinators)))
unted". The unique
;; file system identifiers there ("UUIDs") can be obtained

This is strange because call-with-output-file uses the O_TRUNC flag which
resets the file size to zero. Remove the configuration file before writing it
as a work-around.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (edit-configuration-file): Remove the configuration
file before re-writing it.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (user-partitions->configuration): Introduce
vertical space and a comment.

(system-services->configuration): Add vertical space and comments.
* gnu/installer/user.scm (users->configuration): Add comment.
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (format-configuration): Add comment.
(configuration->file): Expound leading comment. Pass #:format-comment
to 'pretty-print-with-comments/splice'.
* gnu/installer.scm (module-to-import?): Return #t for (guix read-print).
* gnu/installer/steps.scm (configuration->file): Use
'pretty-print-with-comments/splice' instead of 'for-each' and 'pretty-print'.
Parted 3.5 introduces the following regression:
- partition-set-flag sets the BIOS_GRUB flag. The partition type is set to
PARTITION_BIOS_GRUB_GUID.
- partition-set-system resets the partition type to PARTITION_LINUX_DATA_GUID
undoing what's done by partition-set-flag.
To prevent it, reverse the call order.
Fixes: <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/55549>.
* gnu/installer/parted.scm (mkpart): Call partition-set-system before
partition-set-flag.
Forbid root user creation as it could lead to a system without any
non-priviledged user accouts.

This is to make it less surprising, given the common convention sets forth by
the kernel Linux command-line parameters.

Make sure to install the en_US.utf8 fallback locale if the selected locale is
not supported.
* gnu/installer/final.scm (install-locale): New procedure.

Installing the locale inside the container, once the cow-store is mounted,

We had several bug reports with a root cause of "the clock was

Guix System.

ntp-service-type.
Currently, the installer page RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE offers to the user all
installer services that are not of the types 'desktop', 'network-management', or
'networking'. Concretely, this means that it offers the CUPS printing service,
because that is the only service of a different type defined in the installer.
In later commits, we will add some services of a new type, and we only want them
to be offered when the user is installing a non-graphical system.
At least one of these new services (NTP) is part of %DESKTOP-SERVICES. If it
was also offered on RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE, and the user had configured a
system using %DESKTOP-SERVICES, the user could accidentally add NTP to their
services twice, which is an error and would break installation.
So, this commit makes the RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE be more specific about
what services to offer. This makes it easier to discriminate between desktop and
non-desktop installations, in terms of when a given service is offered.
* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm (RUN-OTHER-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): Rename to ...
(RUN-PRINTING-SERVICES-CBT-PAGE): ... new variable, and select only 'document' services.
(RUN-SERVICES-PAGE): Adjust accordingly.
* gnu/installer/tests.scm (CHOOSE-SERVICES): Adjust accordingly.
Recommending ext4 over btrfs is probably ill-advised nowadays. See the
regular bug reports about running out of /gnu/store directory entries,
for which the documented fix then breaks booting with GRUB.
Instead, just list regular file systems alphabetically. We can bikeshed
bcachefs later ;-)
Move second-class file systems like NTFS to their own section at the end
of the list.
* gnu/packages/package-management.scm (run-fs-type-page): Reorder the
LISTBOX-ITEMS.
