downloadguix-3cd4447f5639f45b7d833f6fb2adce11ea15ba1d.tar.gz
guix-install.sh: Explicitly set root's home directory.
* etc/guix-install.sh (ROOT_HOME): New variable.
  (sys_create_store, sys_enable_guix_daemon, sys_authorize_build_farms):
  Use ROOT_HOME instead of ~root or the HOME environment variable.
* doc/guix.texi (Binary Installation): Instead of assuming that ~ and
  $HOME refer to root's directory simply because commands are being run
  as root, explicilty refer to it via ~root.

Fixes: <https://bugs.gnu.org/30728>
