I wonder, can anyone else reproduce the wired connection failure? It
worked for me with the graphical installer. It would be a shame to
release with a bug that breaks wired connections in the installer.

Weird, we need to look into that. I wonder if it's related to
'$GIT_SSL_CAINFO'? Or something else about find the X.509 certificates?
Check here for more info on that:
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/X_002e509-Certificates.html
I also found some suggestions regarding $GIT_EXEC_PATH needing to be
set.
It would be nice to somehow offer "fetch a remote config.scm" within the
graphical installer. Something for 1.3.0, I suppose!

Hm :/ I hope it doesn't happen too often. I wonder how we can debug
this?
