nixpkgs-suyu/modules/installer/tools/tools.nix
Nicolas Pierron a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.
