Bootstrapping channels #7

I wouldn't run guix pull until after the `herd start cow-store /mnt` step. But yes running guix pull will get everything from the correct channel but If it is too out of date then the pull will fail due to changing dependencies in the underlying guix system.
It's been a while since I set guix up from scratch without another machine on the network to serve substitutes though so your way may be better for fresh installs

I wonder if I can avoid the guix time-machine step I provided in the installation video if I put the channel file in the right place? I suppose you'd still need to run guix pull first.

and these can be added like soDoing it this way eliminates the need for a few lines of bash script or managing a separate channels file. More importantly it adds system-wide guix channels to the correct directory.
