Installation Device
Provides a basic configuration for installation devices like CDs.
This enables redistributable firmware, includes the
Clone Config profile
and a copy of the Nixpkgs channel, so nixos-install
works out of the box.
Documentation for Nixpkgs
and NixOS are
forcefully enabled (to override the
Minimal profile preference); the
NixOS manual is shown automatically on TTY 8, udisks is disabled.
Autologin is enabled as nixos user, while passwordless
login as both root and nixos is possible.
Passwordless sudo is enabled too.
wpa_supplicant is
enabled, but configured to not autostart.
It is explained how to login, start the ssh server, and if available,
how to start the display manager.
Several settings are tweaked so that the installer has a better chance of
succeeding under low-memory environments.
