Silly me, but how does one view these things?  The ones labeled with 
.pdf extensions come across as ascii files, that can't be read as pdf, 
and others look like they have to be assembled.

These are pretty good, and helpful - but they do raise a key question:

From the slides, it looks like GUIX keeps track of dependencies, but 
there's no discussion about how dependencies are identified, included in 
the package definitions, or resolved at install time. Details (or 
pointer) please!

Thanks Again,
