Eelco Dolstra c7b427fbca Give our kernel parameters a common prefix ("boot.*") 2013-01-09 22:53:44 +01:00
Eelco Dolstra 93a7a32bab initrd: Don't enable the root shell by default
Starting an authenticated root shell is a security hole, so don't do
it by default.  The kernel command line parameter
‘initrd.shell_on_fail’ restores the original.  (Of course, this only
improves security if you have a password on GRUB to prevent the kernel
command line from being edited by unauthorized users.)

mkAlways is an insane function, mkMerge is much saner.

      }
    ];

as

  fileSystems."/".device = "/dev/sda1";

Eelco Dolstra cc357c7e64 nixos-rebuild: Add a convenience option ‘--upgrade’

Eelco Dolstra 29b05fb62a * nixos-checkout: add an argument to specify the directory where the
sources should be stored.  E.g. "nixos-checkout /home/eelco/srcs"
  will check out to /home/eelco/srcs/{nixos,nixpkgs}.  Probably the
  /etc/nixos default should be removed eventually because /etc is a
  pretty weird place to keep large source trees.

Eelco Dolstra 846cb81234 * Comment out the "Configuration in home directory" chapter.
Everything described in that chapter is a bug (e.g. needing to
  manually create symlinks) that properly belongs in the issue tracker
  or wiki, not in the manual.

Eelco Dolstra be189991e0 * Revert r33928: veth* can also be a bridged interface requiring dhcp.
See e.g. https://nixos.org/repos/nix/configurations/trunk/tud/stan.nix

  So we need a better solution for this...
