Hello Guix,
I noticed¹ that ‘bare-bones.tmpl’ now leads to instances around
1.5 GiB, which I think is totally unreasonable, to say the least.
This patch series does the easy changes to get it to ~1.1 GiB,
which is still unreasonable, but at least should allow our installation
tests to run without having to increase the disk size again.
Thoughts?
The next but more difficult steps will be stripping Guix and Linux:
