5 Visual Proof (screenshots, videos, text)
==========================================

  Attached are personally created logs of each step of the process. For
  further clarity, here is the output of `git -C ~/Downloads/guix log -n
  1` and `guix describe` on my GuixSD install. And because I discovered
  it after the fact, I've also attached the two logfiles created by the
  above process (config.log and testsuite.log).
