Building, burning, and booting from an installation CD is rather tedious, so
|
|
here is a quick way to see if the installer works properly:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt># </prompt>mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
|
|
<prompt># </prompt>nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.nixos-install
|
|
<prompt># </prompt>./result/bin/nixos-install</screen>
|
|
To start a login shell in the new NixOS installation in
|
|
<filename>/mnt</filename>:
|
|
<screen>
|
|
<prompt>$ </prompt>nix-build '<nixpkgs/nixos>' -A config.system.build.nixos-enter
|
|
<prompt># </prompt>./result/bin/nixos-enter
|
|
</screen>
|
|
