b9dd7509b6 * nixos-rebuild: before building NixOS, first build the latest Nix and
use that one to build NixOS.  This will make it easier to use
  bleeding-edge features in the NixOS expressions.

f2780fdc62 * Add a top-level default.nix for NixOS which has attributes useful
for building parts of the system.  E.g.

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A upstartJobs.xserver

  to build the Upstart job for the X server, or

  $ nix-build /etc/nixos/nixos -A kernel

  to build the NixOS kernel.

* /etc/profile.sh: if ~/.nix-defexpr doesn't exist yet, create it as a
  directory and add links to root's channels, /etc/nixos/nixos and
  /etc/nixos/install-source.nix (as "nixpkgs_sys").
  
* boot.useKernel -> boot.kernel.

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.

ad22e587ab * nixos-rebuild: do a nix-pull on the Nixpkgs channel manifest. I.e., you
don't need to be subscribed to the Nixpkgs channel to get binary downloads.
  This is possible because nix-pull is now pretty fast.

c10fe148a3 * /var/run/current-system symlinks to the top-level path of the system
configuration now.
* /var/run/booted-system symlinks to the system configuration used at
  boot time.

582abdaae2 * Option boot.copyKernels to copy all kernels and initrd to
/boot/kernels.  This is necessary if /nix is on a different file
  system than /.  (And it will allow us to support a separate /boot
  partition too.)

923348b490 * Provide a script "nixos-checkout" to replace the NixOS/Nixpkgs
sources in /etc/nixos with a Subversion checkout of those trees.
  This should be run after a successful installation if you want to
  keep NixOS up to date from Subversion.

4f64075215 * Installer: defaults for all arguments. The NixOS sources are
assumed to be in /etc/nixos/nixos and the system configuration in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  This is overridable through a few
  environment variables.
* Installer: check that the mount point does in fact have a file
  system mounted on it (so that we don't install in an empty /mnt),
  and don't unmount afterwards for symmetry.

4b7e9b5401 * Instructions on testing the installer without having to make an ISO

* Installer: continue if the MANIFEST on the CD is missing (useful if
  we're not actually installing from a CD).
