Hi all. I'm very excited with ideas of NixOS and tried to install it.
The first problem I've come across is the absence of the tools for making internet connection (i.e. pppd, pppoe and others). Considering not tiny size of the install CD and necessity of the internet connection for installation to succeed, this is very strange. Finally I've solved this problem chrooting into my Debian system and getting connection up from there. Installation went smoothly, but in the end there was a failure to install grub loader for some reason. Message was something like "grub/stage1 not read", and there was no changes to my boot loader. I understand you probably cannot help with this obscure grub problem (although I'd be happy if you can), but if you tell me what magic is behind grub in NixOS I could try to boot NixOS from lilo, which I'm more familiar with?
