Eelco Dolstra 4b7e9b5401 * Instructions on testing the installer without having to make an ISO
/ burn a CD, namely by making a loopback target file system.
* Installer: continue if the MANIFEST on the CD is missing (useful if
  we're not actually installing from a CD).

Eelco Dolstra 3e7f4280df * activate-configuration.sh: make sure that we're running on a NixOS
