8179e5213f * A module for building KVM/QEMU virtual machines from a NixOS
configuration.  No virtual disk image is generated; the VM shares a
  Nix store with the host.  This makes it very fast to build new VMs.

c46dc8ad10 * Fix nixos-hardware-scan. BTW the model is now to do something like
$ nixos-hardware-scan > /etc/nixos/hardware.nix

  and import the hardware.nix module in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.
  That way you can easily rescan for new hardware.

c3ea825c23 * Fix installing from the modular branch. system/system.nix no longer
exists.  $NIXPKGS needs to be set, otherwise NixOS can't find
  Nixpkgs (because in the chroot it's in /mnt/etc/nixos/nixpkgs).
  Also clear LANG to shut up Perl warnings about the locale.

16937dd23d * Make fsck on journaling filesystems optional (enabled by default).
This is because fsck.ext3 takes several minutes to recover the
  journal, whereas the ext3 implementation in the kernel only takes a
  few seconds.  I'd love to know why this is the case...

03760c0c03 * `installation-cd-big.nix' builds a NixOS installation CD containing
an X server and KDE 4.  Thanks to squashfs it's only 466 MiB large.
  `installation-cd-small.nix' builds the original, text-only
  installation CD.

1cea6b09ef * Compress the Nix store on the CD using squashfs. This reduces the
size of the i686-linux ISO image from 463 MiB to 147 MiB.  Hopefully
  it also speeds up installation due to reduced seek time and larger
  block sizes, but I haven't tested that yet (on real hardware).

e4e408293e * Modularise the building of the installation CD/DVD. The module
iso-image.nix contains the minimal stuff necessary to build a
  bootable ISO image containing the given configuration.  The idea is
  that this can be customised by providing additional modules, e.g. to
  add extra packages to the image.

  The ISO image is exported in the configuration attribute
  system.build.isoImage.  So it can be built as follows:

  $ nix-build lib/eval-config.nix \
      --arg configuration 'import ./modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix' \
      -A config.system.build.isoImage

  about VirtualBox, but the different timing makes it more likely to
  trigger this bug.)
