Rastus Vernon d6998b0674 nixos manual: recommend use of dd for writing the image
Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it.
For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides
for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against
using it.

Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files,
it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI
installations.

vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close #14139.

Build Status Issue Stats Issue Stats

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-15.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-15.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

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