# Installation Device {#sec-profile-installation-device}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provides a basic configuration for installation devices like CDs.
|
|
|
|
|
This enables redistributable firmware, includes the
|
|
|
|
|
[Clone Config profile](#sec-profile-clone-config)
|
|
|
|
|
and a copy of the Nixpkgs channel, so `nixos-install`
|
|
|
|
|
works out of the box.

Documentation for [Nixpkgs](#opt-documentation.enable)
|
|
|
|
|
and [NixOS](#opt-documentation.nixos.enable) are
|
2021-06-30 09:43:06 +00:00
|
|
|
forcefully enabled (to override the
|
|
|
|
|
[Minimal profile](#sec-profile-minimal) preference); the
|
|
|
|
|
NixOS manual is shown automatically on TTY 8, udisks is disabled.
|
|
|
|
|
Autologin is enabled as `nixos` user, while passwordless
|
|
|
|
|
login as both `root` and `nixos` is possible.
|
|
|
|
|
Passwordless `sudo` is enabled too.

|
[wpa_supplicant](#opt-networking.wireless.enable) is
|
2021-06-30 09:43:06 +00:00
|
|
|
enabled, but configured to not autostart.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is explained how to login, start the ssh server, and if available,
|
|
|
|
|
how to start the display manager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Several settings are tweaked so that the installer has a better chance of
|
|
|
|
|
succeeding under low-memory environments.
