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).

f9cfe7c4ee * The activation script can't use /bin/sh as its interpreter because
it creates the /bin/sh symlink, which may not exist yet (esp. when

e4e408293e * Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
  bootable ISO image containing the given configuration.  The idea is
  that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
  add extra packages to the image.

  The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
  system.build.isoImage.  So it can be built as follows:

  $ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
      --arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
      -A config.system.build.isoImage

dc8cbffe31 * Revert r15862, as the "host" package in system-path.nix (or any other
package) can be overriden by setting environment.systemPackages in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix: it shouldn't be special-cased.

021c65da98 * Quick hack in the X server job: wait until udev is running, since we
need some devices.  In particular this fixes the "Cannot open
  virtual console 7" errors in VirtualBox.  (There's nothing special
  about VirtualBox, but the different timing makes it more likely to
  trigger this bug.)

116306c8dc * Restart ntpd when we get a new DHCP lease. Without this, if ntpd
previously failed to resolve the NTP server hostnames in its config
  file, it will happily sit in a loop forever doing nothing.

674d63e212 * Don't do a separate "ntp -q -g" to reset the system time in the ntp
start script.  It's probably not necessary, but more importantly, it
  can hang forever if the network is down.  (Actually it will sit in a
  loop waiting for UDP packets that will never arrive.)  This causes
  the NixOS reboot to hang, since Upstart can't kill jobs stuck in
  their start script.
