<title>Installation Device</title>
<para>
Provides a basic configuration for installation devices like CDs. This means
enabling hardware scans, using the <link linkend="sec-profile-clone-config">
Clone Config profile</link> to guarantee
<filename>/etc/nixos/configuration.nix</filename> exists (for
<command>nixos-rebuild</command> to work), a copy of the Nixpkgs channel
snapshot used to create the install media.
</para>
<para>
Additionally, documentation for <link linkend="opt-documentation.enable">
Nixpkgs</link> and <link linkend="opt-documentation.nixos.enable">NixOS
</link> are forcefully enabled (to override the
<link linkend="sec-profile-minimal">Minimal profile</link> preference); the
NixOS manual is shown automatically on TTY 8, sudo and udisks are disabled.
Autologin is enabled as root.
</para>
<para>
A message is shown to the user to start a display manager if needed,
ssh with <xref linkend="opt-services.openssh.permitRootLogin"/> are enabled (but
doesn't autostart). WPA Supplicant is also enabled without autostart.
</para>
<para>
Finally, vim is installed, root is set to not have a password, the kernel is
made more silent for remote public IP installs, and several settings are
tweaked so that the installer has a better chance of succeeding under
low-memory environments.
