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.

be31aebdcf * Added option for EC2 keypair.
* Added workaround for evaluation
* Add support for cluster instances ami generation, only works in us-east-1 
  for now.

    e.g. ./create-ebs-ami.py --region us-east --hvm --key rob
  
  Cluster instances need to have a 8GB EBS backed image with 1 partition 
  and with grub installed. Also HVM images can (currently) only be generated 
  using the CreateImage API call, which requires a running or stopped 
  instance.

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

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.

1d0c23bffb * Use a raw disk for the installer test. This speeds it up by almost
two minutes on my laptop.  Note that due to sparse allocation, raw
  disks don't actually take up more space than qcow2 disks (and
  they're temporary anyway).

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.

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.
