@provectus The easiest option to create a Hurd image with Guix is by running ‘guix system image -t hurd64-qcow2 config.scm’, where ‘config.scm’ contains an OS configuration for the Hurd 👇

This cross-compiles the entire image contents, so you have to restrict yourself to packages that can be cross-built. A good starting point is:

The goal of this guide is for those who want to use GNU Guix/Hurd without using GNU Guix/Linux or the Guix package manager. I will try to add your info, though. Thanks.
@provectus Oh yes, that makes total sense, sorry for the misguided suggestion.
No problem at all. I edited the post just to prevent confusion. :-)
