> Both installers had the same behavior when it came to accessing
> ci.guix.gnu.org for substitutes.  I ran the installer on a new build
> node, which cannot access ci.guix.gnu.org through the public IP

> ci.guix.gnu.org to the local IP.  When I started the installation it
> would print two lines and then seemingly freeze.
>
> There was no timeout either.  When the installer is killed and restarted
> it fails with other errors that I didn’t record.  I had to reboot and
> remember to make the change to /etc/hosts first before starting the
> installation.
