control over mutual inclusion.

* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.
* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.
* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.

to directly boot into any of the Grub menu entries. This doesn't
work yet though. Probably Grub needs some messing with the
savedefault option.

work for X logins. (The documentation also says so.) Instead just
call ck-launch-session from the xsession script.

default session is selected. This is because we always want to run
our own initialisation (like starting ssh-agent).
* ssh-agent: don't start it is a child but have it re-exec the
xsession script. This ensures that ssh-agent quits when we log out.
* In the xsession script, don't redirect output to ~/.xsession-errors
if the display manager is kdm, since kdm already does that. In fact
it uses ~/.xsession-errors<optional number> if there are concurrent
X sessions.
* For consistency with other distros and the xdm manpage, exec the
~/.xsession script instead of sourcing it. Do this for the "custom"
session type provided by kdm.

* Modularised the xorg.conf generation. For instance, the Wacom and
Synaptics support has been moved into separate modules. The
contents of xorg.conf is defined by the option
services.xserver.config, and various other options for specific
sections (e.g. services.xserver.serverLayoutSection).
* displayManager.job.env: made this an attribute set.
* tcpEnable -> enableTCP for naming consistency.
* defaultDepth can be set to 0 to leave it undefined (needed for the
vmware driver).
* Removed some options that seem obsolete or are now the default
(e.g. RenderAccel, AllowGLXWithComposite).
* Removed services.xserver.package. This can now be done using
nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides.

- NFS mounts are created during startup time
- Played a bit with waiting times in order to capture a nice screenshot

- Added rpc.statd service, which prevents messages that tell you that you should use -o nolock
- Create /var/lib/nfs on initialization
- Create /etc/exports, so that exportfs can create /var/lib/nfs/etab. This prevents errors such as: mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified

3 server and two clients. The clients connect to the server and do
nothing (except getting blown by the bots). After a few seconds we
verify that the clients indeed connected successfully, and make a
screenshot of the X displays of the clients.

KDM will merge multiple sections with the same name (even though it
complains a bit). Option definitions that occur first have
precedence.
