Its better to know when you configure guix network using manual
installation if things went well or not, the easiest way to do that is
ping x.org.
It might be the most common, but note that it's not a reliable way.
Plenty of people are confused that ping doesn't work in their VM with
QEMU user networking, and think this means they can't access the Web to
download packages. So they don't even try even though it works fine.
But fping package is not installed by default within guix
iso, Hope to see it added by default.
I looked up ‘fping’ and it's an obscure ping variant. It may be your
favourite obscure variant ;-) but it's definitely not something that
should be installed by default.
‘ping’ is provided by ‘inetutils’. It's already part of
%base-packages. It is installed by default. Below you talk about the
installer ISO, but it already has ‘ping’ preinstalled, so I'm confused.
Kind regards,
