2346754f5e * Don't add xterm and feh to the system path if the X server is
disabled.  Other desktop/display/window manager modules should be
  conditional on config.services.xserver.enable as well, but at least
  they're disabled by default due to other options.

won't.  This speeds up booting from CIFS a lot.

97a4e1fcb3 * Rename the CD modules to something more sensible.
* Make sure that reconfiguration in the live CD works properly by
  including the proper configuration module in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  Ugly.

it doesn't already exist.  Also set up some ad hoc port forwarding
  from the host to the guest.

8179e5213f * A module for building KVM/QEMU virtual machines from a NixOS
configuration.  No virtual disk image is generated; the VM shares a
  Nix store with the host.  This makes it very fast to build new VMs.

c46dc8ad10 * Fix nixos-hardware-scan. BTW the model is now to do something like
$ nixos-hardware-scan > /etc/nixos/hardware.nix

  and import the hardware.nix module in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
  That way you can easily rescan for new hardware.

c3ea825c23 * Fix installing from the modular branch. system/system.nix no longer
exists.  $NIXPKGS needs to be set, otherwise NixOS can't find
  Nixpkgs (because in the chroot it's in /mnt/etc/nixos/nixpkgs).
  Also clear LANG to shut up Perl warnings about the locale.

16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

03760c0c03 * `installation-cd-big.nix' builds a NixOS installation CD containing
an X server and KDE 4.  Thanks to squashfs it's only 466 MiB large.
  `installation-cd-small.nix' builds the original, text-only
  installation CD.

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).
