+  <para>
+    In some cases, it may be desirable to take advantage of
+    commonly-used, predefined configurations provided by nixpkgs, but
+    different from those that come as default. This is a role fulfilled
+    by NixOS's Profiles, which come as files living in
+    <literal>&lt;nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles&gt;</literal>. That is
+    to say, expected usage is to add them to the imports list of your
+    <literal>/etc/configuration.nix</literal> as such:
+  </para>
+  <programlisting language="bash">
+imports = [
+  &lt;nixpkgs/nixos/modules/profiles/profile-name.nix&gt;
+];
+</programlisting>
+  <para>
+    Even if some of these profiles seem only useful in the context of
+    install media, many are actually intended to be used in real
+    installs.

+    What follows is a brief explanation on the purpose and use-case for
+    each profile. Detailing each option configured by each one is out of
+    scope.
