Eelco Dolstra 27df3ed624 * stage2_eltorito is in a different place on x86_64. 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=12636
 2008-08-15 14:28:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a83becdee8 * When booting from the installation CD, just mount 
/dev/disk/by-label/<label>.  This makes the whole
  autoDetectRootDevice/rootLabel machinery unnecessary.

Eelco Dolstra 1c2d81d93d * Remove "obsolete" notation.

Eelco Dolstra abbe260a80 * Don't use modprobe but insmod in the initrd. This means we don't 
need module-init-tools in the initrd, since insmod is in klibc.
* Give the installation CD a label.

Eelco Dolstra 4d6548e94c * Use the tools from klibc in the initrd instead of the static-tools. 
This makes the initrd a few megabytes smaller.
* Use run-init from klibc to delete everything in the initrd ramfs
  prior to switching to the real root FS.
* Removed the stage2Init argument.

Eelco Dolstra 27b329abe2 * Doh! Include the pkgs subdirectory of nixpkgs on the CD. 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=12198
 2008-06-27 12:28:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0739332a6c * Create /etc/nixos/nixpkgs, otherwise unpacking 
/install/nixpkgs.tar.bz2 fails (but that file appears
  to be broken anyway...).

svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=12125
 2008-06-16 19:06:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebb43a3f67 * Make the location of Nixpkgs a function argument (defaulting 
to ../../nixpkgs).  This makes the "pkgs" symlink under the 
  nixos checkout unnecessary.

Eelco Dolstra e7494da962 * Allow compression of ISO images.

Michael Raskin ecef3b1f61 Passing packages list to extraModulePackages 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=11884
 2008-05-22 19:30:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bb1ee3f190 * boot.kernel renamed to boot.kernelPackages (see the help for a 
description) to allow all kernel-related packages to be overriden
  easily.  For instance, you can now say in configuration.nix

    boot = {
      kernelPackages = pkgs: pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25;
    };

  to use Linux 2.6.25.x.  Externel kernel module packages (like
  the NVIDIA drivers) appropriate for this kernel will then be used
  automatically.

Eelco Dolstra 666d0bde09 * Disable modules missing on x86_64. 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=10563
 2008-02-08 23:51:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire, 
USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.
* Include the NixOS version in the ISO image filename.
* Include testdisk and ms-sys in the CD.
* Some bugfixes in the installer.

Eelco Dolstra 707e515f82 * Option to enable support for the WIS GO7007. 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=10491
 2008-02-04 10:52:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fd5d70968 * The CD is now a true live CD: you can run Nix operations in it 
thanks to unionfs.  For instance, nix-env and nixos-rebuild work.
  The tricky part was to build a Nix database (in the tmpfs/unionfs)
  which is now necessary to prevent store paths on the CD from being
  deleted right away because they otherwise wouldn't be valid.
  
* nixos-install: use the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix from the target
  file system (don't copy it anymore).  Since the user is supposed to
  mount the target file system on /mnt anyway, we may as well require
  that configuration.nix is placed in /mnt/etc/nixos.  This also makes
  upgrading / reinstalling much easier, since it will automatically
  use the right configuration.nix.

Eelco Dolstra 2da50038e4 * Use aufs instead of unionfs, it seems to be more stable. 
svn path=/nixos/trunk/; revision=10390
 2008-01-29 18:53:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD 
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

Eelco Dolstra 3abf5072ce * Installation CD: start a web browser showing the NixOS manual on 
tty7.
* Add w3m to the installation CD's path since it's needed for the
  manual anyway.

Eelco Dolstra 93efa40b58 * Put Subversion on the installation CD so that the user can run 
"nixos-checkout" to use the latest NixOS/Nixpkgs expressions (rather
  than what's on the CD).

Eelco Dolstra c00448493b * Use vim instead of vimDiet on the CD because ncurses on dietlibc is 
broken on x86_64 (apparently because dietlibc on x86_64 doesn't have
  sin() / cos()).

Eelco Dolstra 2a4417d637 * make-etc / activate-configuration: allow /etc files to be installed 
as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
  default).  The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
  security.sudo.configFile.  The default sudoers file allows members
  of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

Eelco Dolstra 7243eb1d1d * Create /bin on the CD to suppress the /bin/sh symlink creation 
error.
* Put the top-level system config on the CD, otherwise root doesn't
  get a working login shell on the CD (and the system PATH is broken
  as well).
