installer: kernel: Accept empty list as kernel.

2026-01-21T13:19:46+00:00

On architectures other than x86_64, the kernel page is not shown.  That means
the kernel will be an empty list. This leads to an exception during
installation.

Followup of 139a69b60201769ded53667872ca8dbad8f6e216, part of #5515.

* gnu/installer/kernel.scm (kernel->configuration): Accept empty kernel.

installer: run-kernel-page: Ensure Linux Libre is first.

2026-01-16T19:53:48+00:00

The list box is automatically sorted, putting Hurd in front of Linux Libre.

* gnu/installer/newt/kernel.scm (run-kernel-page): Do not sort.

installer: services: Disable desktop page on Hurd and 32-bit x86.

2026-01-14T09:47:51+00:00

To prevent confusion, remove possibility to choose the desktop services on
both Hurd and 32-bit x86. As the info text suggests, desktop environments are not
available on Hurd. As for x86, there some of the services do not build. While
it is more idiomatic to fix those services, for the 1.5.0 release, use this
workaround to disable the desktop page. This ensures users aren't left
building something that will fail.

* gnu/installer/newt/services.scm
(run-desktop-environments-cbt-page): No longer show special info on Hurd.
(run-desktop-environments-cbt-page/maybe): Call
run-desktop-environments-cbt-page on architectures that support desktop
environments well.
(run-services-page): Call maybe variant of run-desktop-environments-cbt-page.

installer: partition: Force msdos on Hurd.

2026-01-14T09:46:41+00:00

Since Hurd always uses Legacy BIOS bootloader, do not offer GPT label.

* gnu/installer/newt/partition.scm (run-label-page): Force MSDOS for Hurd
target.

installer: network: Check response code to assess substitute availability.

2026-01-14T08:16:50+00:00

This is to accomodate following situation:
- The proxy is up
- The substitute server is down

When that happens, 5xx is returned from the proxy, typically either Bad
Gateway or Gateway Timeout. This implies the substitute server is down.

Still, for checking if the user is online, we do not check the response code.
If there is a response, even 4xx, 5xx, it still means the user is online.

* gnu/installer/newt/network.scm
(url-alive?): Add optional argument to to check the response code.
(common-urls-alive?): Add the same argument, passing it to url-alive?
(check-substitute-availability): Assume offline when non-successful http code
returned.
