 This creates @file{/gnu/store} (@pxref{The Store}), @file{/var/guix},
 and @file{/root/.guix-profile}.  @file{/root/.guix-profile} is a
 ready-to-use profile for @code{root} where Guix is installed.
address@hidden '--skip-old-files' does the right thing with tar 1.28.  The 
manual
address@hidden does not clearly document the behavior we describe here, though.
-The @code{--skip-old-files} option allows you to make sure the owner and
-permissions on @file{/var} and @file{/root} are preserved (@pxref{Option
-Summary, @code{--skip-old-files},, tar, GNU tar: an archiver tool}).
 
 Do @emph{not} unpack the tarball on a working Guix system since that
 would overwrite its own essential files.
