-Making X work in NixOS (fixing guide)
-
-  Mouse
-
-* for mouse support /dev/input/mice needs to be there. This device can be
-created either automatically with udev, or manually with mknod.
-
-  Fonts
-
-Right now fonts have to be copied from another machine and put into
-/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts
-
-  Config
-
-in services/trunk/configurations/tyros.cs.uu.nl-xorg/ there is a Nix expression
-which builds a working X configuration for use in VMware.

-Configuration in NixOS
-
-Configuration in NixOS is not very straightforward. On other Linux
-distribution site-specific information (password files, host files, and
-so on) are stored with information that is rather generic for a lot of
-operating systems. To be able to handle these in a gentle way I have decided
-to seperate these two a bit more in NixOS.
-
-In particular, in the /etc directory there is a Nix profile called "configs".
-In this profile the generic configuration is kept. In time this can grow
-to keep configuration which is site specific, but which can easily be kept
-in the store, such as "profile" (default system wide Bourne shell profile)
-
-Right now two packages should be in this profile:
-
-* etcServices : installs a file called "services" (/etc/services should
-point to this)
-* etcProtocols : installs a file called "protocols" (/etc/protocols should
-point to this)
-
-During install time these packages should be installed and the right symlinks
-should be made.
-
-When NIX-40 is closed, we might consider making /etc itself a profile and
-keep even more configuration information inside the Nix store.

-NixOS installation HOWTO -- August 28, 2006
-
-This is small HOWTO of how to build and install the current version of
-NixOS.
-
-
-  Building
-
-Install Nix. Checkout nixpkgs from Subversion, as well as nixu. Adapt the
-scripts in nixu to reflect the location of nixpkgs (default /nixpkgs).
-Make sure mktemp is installed. Run ./make-disk.sh. Wait.
-
-  Burning
-
-Use your favourite tool to burn the ISO image to a CD.
-
-  Installing
-
-Currently NixOS can only be installed with machines that have a specific
-hardware set up:
-
-An ATA harddisk on the first ATA controller (hda) with:
-- data partition
-- swap partition
-
-All data on these two partitions will be wiped and the bootloader in the
-Master Boot Record (MBR) will be overwritten with GRUB.
-
-The NixOS installer will drop you into a shell, from which you can run
-fdisk. Then it expects to find a file called "disklayout" with three
-variables:
-
-SWAP :: partition to use as swap
-INSTALLDEVICE :: partition that will be /root
-TARGETDRIVE :: drive on which grub will be installed
-
-This file will be read by the install script automatically when you launch
-the script:
-
-# sh fill-disk.sh
-
-The configuration data that grub writes to disk might not be correct (should
-be). When something goes wrong you probably won't have to reinstall. The
-manual for grub is quite helpful in these cases.
-
-  Configuring
-
-To get NixOS in a working state, do the following:
-
-- load the networkdriver. This is machine dependent. On the labmachines (Dell
-Optiplex GX-260) this is the e1000 driver:
-
-# modprobe e1000
-
-In vmware the driver is "pcnet32".
-
-- bring the interface up:
-
-# ifconfig eth0 up
-
-If the interface is different (say, eth1) replace eth0 with the right
-interface.
-
-- if DHCP is used, run a DHCP client to obtain an IP address, routing
-and resolving information:
-
-# dhclient eth0
-
-Otherwise, do this yourself:
-
-# ifconfig eth0 <ip address> netmask <netmask>
-# route add default gw <gateway ip address>
-# vim /etc/resolv.conf
-
-  Making syslog work.
-
-- copy /etc/services from a working Linux machine to /etc/services on the
-NixOS machine (needed for sysklogd)
-- copy /etc/syslog.conf from a working Linux machine to /etc/syslog.conf on the
-NixOS machine (needed for sysklogd)
-- launch sysklogd
-
-  Making logins on virtual consoles work.
-
-Logins on virtual consoles are disabled by default. To make them work:
-
-- edit /etc/inittab and outcomment the lines with "mingetty" in them
-- copy /etc/login.defs from a working Linux machine to /etc/login.defs on the
-NixOS machine (needed for mingetty). Alternatively, do:
-
-# touch /etc/login.defs
-
-- relaunch init
-
-
-  Making hotplugging work -- BROKEN RIGHT NOW
-
-Many devices (USB, Firewire) are controlled by so called "hot plugging". The
-kernel executes a program -- usually /sbin/hotplug, but this is configurable
-at boottime by setting the right path in /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug -- when a
-new device is added to the machine. This program makes sure the right kernel
-modules are loaded and optionally, if enabled, sends a message to udev to
-create the right device node in /dev (NOTE: this is not enabled in NixOS right
-now).
-
-- mount usbfs (for USB):
-  # mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb
-- install hotplug package
-  - make symlinks /etc/hotplug, /etc/hotplug.d, /sbin/hotplug (TODO: make
-    this pure)
-  - make sure the kernel and additional modules are prepared well (currently
-    this is hackish, but workable: see kernelscripts/make-kernel.sh for an
-    example)
-  - (optionally:) install udev
-    - make a symlink to /etc/udev/udev.conf
-    - launch udev
-  - plug in a device
