a61154c0d4 Adding support of the Intel 2230 wireless card to nixos
It should go to the livecd, added to the all-hardware profile.
Yes, the card is called 2230, the ucode called 2030:

37985ad66b Make xz available by default
NixOS depends on xz anyway, so we may as well make it available.

f2c2b7ace9 Don't start emergency mode on EC2 instances
EC2 instances don't have a console, so it's pointless to start
emergency mode if a mount fails.  (This happened to me with an
encrypted filesystem where the key wasn't sent on time using "charon
send-keys".)  Better to cross fingers and continue booting.

ae4e94d9ac Rename ‘boot.systemd’ to ‘systemd’
Suggested by Mathijs Kwik.  ‘boot.systemd’ is a misnomer because
systemd affects more than just booting.  And it saves some typing.

6c1bb54483 * In the installation CD, make the NixOS/Nixpkgs available as if they
were obtained from the NixOS channel.  "nixos-install" copies this
  to the installed system as well.

  the benefit of memory-constrained environments.

  NixOS channel or from the ISO.

4f4c529979 Stage 1 improvements:
* Load scsi_wait_scan after all other kernel modules to ensure that
  all SCSI device nodes have been created.
* Increase the timeout for the appearance of the root device to 20
  seconds.
* Do a "udevadm settle" just after the root device has appeared to
  make sure that udev isn't accessing the device anymore (hopefully).
  On EC2 (Xen), I've seen fsck on the root fail randomly with "device
  in use" errors.

f31fefdfd9 splitted ssh/sshd X11 forwarding logic. Backward compatible change.
You can now set the forwardX11 config option for the ssh client and server separately.

For server, the option means "allow clients to request X11 forwarding".
For client, the option means "request X11 forwarding by default on all connections".

I don't think it made sense to couple them. I might not even run the server on some machines.
Also, I ssh to a lot of machines, and rarely want X11 forwarding. The times I want it,
I use the -X/-Y option, or set it in my ~/.ssh/config.

I also decoupled the 'XAuthLocation' logic from forwardX11.
For my case where ssh client doesn't want forwarding by default, it still wants to set the path for the cases I do need it.

As this flag is the one that pulls in X11 dependencies, I changed the minimal profile and the no-x-libs config to check that instead now.

03ebb883d1 * Modularize filesystem support. Filesystems such as btrfs and
reiserfs now have separate modules that are conditional on
  boot.supportedFilesystems and boot.initrd.supportedFilesystems.
  By default, these include the filesystems specified in the fsType
  attribute in fileSystems.  Ext2/3/4 support is currently
  unconditional.

  Also unbreak the installer test (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2272302).

0c68a3440a modules/profiles/base.nix: add 'pkgs.sshfsFuse'
The sshfsFuse package -- which is part of the system profile already -- doesn't
work without fuse. It tries to run /var/setuid-wrappers/fusermount, which then
can't find fusermount. Adding fuse to the system profile remedies this problem.

1fd2e71c8d * Don't add nixos-gui to the installation CD (for now) because 1)
xulrunner is a big package (> 105 MiB); 2) it breaks the CD build
  (http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1057258); 3) currently it doesn't do
  much yet.

  Note that if we do add it, we might as well add Firefox to the CD
  (since it's only a few MiB more on top of xulrunner).
