Optionally additional or alternative substitute servers can be setup for guix-daemon. This is
|
||||
recommended to greatly speed up installation (so that nonguix and rekahsoft-guix (internal
|
||||
network only) substitutes can be used).
|
||||
|
||||
Use ~guix system init ...~ to instantiate the system.
|

First stop the running ~guix-daemon~.

Then start a new instance of ~guix-daemon~ as it is normally started by its Shepherd service,

but with additional or alternative substitute servers provided.
