Sharing was never of interest - I just wanted to have the safety net of 
having another bootable OS. In the end I have decided to wipe Slackware 
and completely embrace the GNU... 

That leads to another question. What are appropriate partition sizes when 
using guix? From my brief reading it seems that guix will be storing lots 
of data below /gnu/store. For Slackware I just use a 5GB root partition 
and have never needed more. Should I infer that guix will be more greedy 
for disk space?

Fair enough. May I suggest that at some point (many, many months from now) 
it might be worth re-visiting that idea? I expect that I am not the only 
user who might consider multibooting and who has an established boot
system. 


Again, many thanks, Richard.
