obadz 806e88c137 nixos-install: cleanups & improvements to run on non-NixOS systems
- Fix --no-bootloader which didn't do what it advertised
- Hardcode nixbld GID so that systems which do not have a nixbld user
  can still run nixos-install (only with --closure since they can't
  build anything)
- Cleanup: get rid of NIX_CONF_DIR(=/tmp)/nix.conf and pass arguments instead
- Cleanup: don't assume that the target system has '<nixpkgs/nixos>' or
  '<nixos-config>' to see if config.users.mutableUsers. Instead check if
  /var/setuid-wrappers/passwd is there

Installing NixOS now works from a Ubuntu host (using --closure).

nix-build -A tests.installer.simple '<nixpkgs/nixos/release.nix>' succeeds ✓

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
