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
  pull" now pulls from the NixOS channel.

Eelco Dolstra 6abf3c8a97 * Change $NIXPKGS_CONFIG to a better location (/etc/nix instead of

Eelco Dolstra 7ba5881146 * Don't install the "nixpkgs_sys" symlink in ~/.nix-defexpr anymore.
Note that for attribute-based nix-env installations, the NixOS
  channel contains Nixpkgs as its "pkgs" attribute, so

    $ nix-env -iA nixos.pkgs.foo

  will work instead of the old

    $ nix-env -iA nixpkgs_sys.foo
    
* Fix the path to root's channels installed in ~/.nix-defexpr.

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.

Eelco Dolstra 096b7723c8 * Add a command "nixos-version" that prints the version of the
currently activated NixOS.  This is "0.1pre-svn" when built from a
  SVN tree, but contains the actual revision when installed from the
  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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 6e281e46b7 I update the name of the memtest entry in grub of the iso images,
because it can be overriden choosing another memtest86.

As an effect of a change in nixpgks, the isos will include
memtest86 4.0a instead of memtest86+ 4.20, only because the 
former is released later, and I deduce it should work better.

Eelco Dolstra 4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.
