The follow recipe is for user's Guix and GNU/Linux beginners that wants to
start with advance science GNU/Linux 100% Free Software distribution.

Step 1.1 setup defaults
Step 1.2 setup UEFI

Step 3: Select Manual Installation
Step 4: Review the instructions carefully on the manual installation guide.

Step 5: Use GPT on your HDD
Step 6: Create three partitions with parted
Step 6.1 I suggest EFI partition 1 size 300 GB
Step 6.2 I suggest system partition 2 size 90 GB
Step 6.3 I suggest Swap partition 3 size 10 GB

Step 7: Make file system partition formats
Step 7.1: EFI partition mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
Step 7.2: system partition mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
Step 7.3: Swap partition mkswap /dev/sda3

Step 8: I suggest to use bare-bone.scm to configure your install system.

Step 9: Install the system.

Step 10: GRUB edit the command linux before booting adding
modprob.blacklist=Radeon

Step 10: Review your Guix system was install successfully

BIOS setup CSM.
