6ee609a0a3 * On the installation CD, set the overcommit heuristic to "always
overcommit".  This makes it less likely that the installer fails
  randomly in low memory environments.

c4f910f550 * Substitute the path of the system derivation directly in the stage 2

  builder still needs to add `systemConfig' to the kernel command line
  for compatibility with old configurations.

1dd3162d7c First attempt at trying to get a tarball of a bootable nixos system.
What I want with this derivation is to allow the sheevaplug nixos to
build a tarball with all the needed files to boot. Then, this can be
unpacked into an SD card, or into a NFS/TFTP server, and then the
user can boot the system with help of the uboot console.
By now, I have only tried to build the tarball in a PC, in order
to develop the nix expressions quicker.

There is nothing written specialy for the Sheevaplug in all this,
by now.

da996583ee * Include the NixOS manpages in the system environment. Actually
there is only one currently: configuration.nix(5), which contains a
  list of all the options.

97a4e1fcb3 * Rename the CD modules to something more sensible.
* Make sure that reconfiguration in the live CD works properly by
  including the proper configuration module in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  Ugly.

03760c0c03 * `installation-cd-big.nix' builds a NixOS installation CD containing
an X server and KDE 4.  Thanks to squashfs it's only 466 MiB large.
  `installation-cd-small.nix' builds the original, text-only
  installation CD.

1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

135240e05f * Sigh. The nix-env call has to come after nix-store --load-db.
Should really allow an ordering between postBootCommands.

463cf8efdd * Provide a /etc/nixos/configuration.nix in the booted CD to make
nixos-rebuild work.  This makes it a true live CD.

1f8602afd2 * Get rid of the old CD/DVD expressions. live-dvd.nix is basically
rescue-dvd.nix (not tested though), i.e. it has all its extra
  packages and includes the build-time dependencies.
