I have a backup HDD with a copy of the installation from back then. 
I can connect it via USB enclosure. What should I check?

For the record, on the new GuixSD installation (including guix pull) which I'm 
using now, I can start icecat by typing "icecat". However, there's still no 
entry in the start menu - which is pretty annoying.

Also, icecat is in "gnu/packages/gnuzilla.scm". Weird. But ok...
