Eelco Dolstra cc357c7e64 nixos-rebuild: Add a convenience option ‘--upgrade’
This is equivalent to running ‘nix-channel --update nixos’ before
running ‘nixos-rebuild’.

Eelco Dolstra 1da7cea223 Add Busybox to the installation CD
This is mostly to get the automated tests to succeed.

Eelco Dolstra 598adfee3e Fix booting from the CD-ROM
So it turns out that BusyBox doesn't auto-load modules for filesystems
that have type "auto", e.g. it doesn't figure out that it should load
the "iso9660" module should be loaded when mounting the CD-ROM.  We
don't want to give the root FS on the CD type "iso9660", because that
breaks booting from a USB stick created by unetbootin.  So make sure
the "iso9660" module is loaded.

barely) inside the 32 character limit.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 22fc2bdb24 Fixing the evaluation of the system-tarball-pc.
It complained that grub device wasn't defined, and I guess it wanted some
fileSystems too. I copied those details from the sheevaplug expression, that I
made evaluate some minutes ago.

Eelco Dolstra 29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.

Eelco Dolstra 6c1bb54483 * In the installation CD, make the NixOS/Nixpkgs available as if they
were obtained from the NixOS channel.  "nixos-install" copies this
  to the installed system as well.
* In the installation CD, set GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE to a low value for
  the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

Eelco Dolstra 395d73db70 * nixos-rebuild: don't do a pull of the manifest by default anymore.
It's not necessary when using the NixOS channel.  "nixos-rebuild

Eelco Dolstra e3879fe365 * Store the NixOS version in the top-level derivation.

  "nixos-<version>".
* Show the NixOS version in the GRUB boot menu instead of the kernel
  version.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 918edf8612 I think this makes the memtest module work on grub1.
But I can't test it because grub-install fails for me for grub1.

I tested it works for grub2.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2ca7e8a43e Reverting 33692, because memtest in the iso was failing.
I set the grub entry for memtest to read "Memtest86", as suggested by Eelco.

I run:
svn merge -c -33692 ^/nixos/trunk
And edited the change a bit.

  NixOS channel or from the ISO.

Eelco Dolstra 5409e76353 * Disable wicd in the installation CD for now, because it causes
dhcpcd to segfault randomly or give corrupt output.  See e.g.

    http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2380666/nixlog/1/raw

  The problem seems to be that wicd sends a "-k" command to dhcpcd to
  release the interface, which doesn't work well with a dhcpcd that
  handles all interfaces in one process.
