Eelco Dolstra 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).

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

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 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
  booting from CD).

Eelco Dolstra 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

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 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.)

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 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.

Eelco Dolstra 720d51179e * kdm needs the "kde" PAM module, but you only get it when KDE is
enabled as a session type.  Since I'm lazy, provide it
  unconditionally.  Also have it include "common-console" to set
  device ownership when logging in.

Eelco Dolstra fc9111fadf * Move various system initialisation tasks (e.g. mounting filesystems,
initialising network interfaces, etc.) to modules/tasks.  This
  follows the Upstart terminology: a service is a job that doesn't
  usually terminate (e.g. a daemon), while a task is a job that does
  some work and then exits.

  add support to the users-groups.nix module for creating accounts
  with an empty password.
