ddc27b2313 use "kernelscripts" package to install the kernel and extra modules. This is 
actually bad, because in theory a different kernel could be chosen to be
installed and then we could not load any modules...but even communism
works...in theory!

7e6a7d6418 rewrite to use busybox 
TODO: rewrite some of the tools to use the busybox tools instead of the "normal" utilities during installation, so we can shave off another 15 MB from the
installer

actually realize them as well. D'oh!

e76efef0d0 make sure we always have mktemp, by building our own version first using Nix. 
This makes it a bit more pure to build the NixOS iso. Still room for improvement though...

fe355bba78 replace a lot of tools we initially use with statically linked versions. 
This reduces the ramdisk installer size with a few megabytes when gzipped,
but with about 40 MB when unpacked in memory.

There are a few improvements possible:

- strip the binaries. This saves another few MBs.
- only copy the binaries we really need to /bin or /sbin. This could reduce
the size of the installer a lot, especially with util-linux, of which we
don't use that many tools at all.
- try to move some packages we link with glibc right now (like util-linux) to
dietlibc. This will not work for bash, already tried that.
- try to use busybox as a replacement for everything.

de289092b2 - various cleanups 
- have mingetty listen on tty2 (but this still fails because of missing /dev/log
- get rid of /init on the targetdrive, solely use /sbin/init (and even that has to go one day)
- use dietlibc statically linked e2fsprogs for the installer. More to come :)
