<title>Clone Config</title>
<para>
This profile is used in installer images. It provides an editable
configuration.nix that imports all the modules that were also used
when creating the image in the first place. As a result it allows
users to edit and rebuild the live-system.
</para>
<para>
On images where the installation media also becomes an installation
target, copying over <literal>configuration.nix</literal> should be
disabled by setting <literal>installer.cloneConfig</literal> to
<literal>false</literal>. For example, this is done in
<literal>sd-image-aarch64-installer.nix</literal>.
