Okay, with the help of Michael and Marc, I was able to get live-dvd.nix
to build. The next step was to try live-dvd-X.nix. Here I needed to fix
two things:
1) Disable gw6c service. Otherwise building fails as the gw6c derivation
complains that the paths
private = "/var/elliptic-keys/private";
public = /var/elliptic-keys/private;
are missing. Which of course they are, as gw6c does not run on my build
system.
2) Update SHA256 sum of flashplayer 10. The tarball distributed by Adobe
seems to have changed.
Diffs of these two changes are attached. After these two changes, I
could build live-dvd-X.nix sucessfully.
Now I would like to run X from withing the live DVD. This I did not
manage yet. I guess because I do not comprehend nix yet. I booted nixos
successfully inside VirtualBox, selecting Rescue X with vesa at the grub
prompt. The system started just fine and I could login as root.
After that, I tried something as naive as "startx" resulting in "command
not found".
My second attempt was
$ nix-env -i xorg-server
which failed with a long backtrace the crucial line of which is
getting status of: '/etc/nixos/configuration.nix': No such file or
directory.
Now I am, again, at a loss. Any pointers?
Thanks,
Felix

You really should tell us about the failures.
I just updated both the nixos and the nixpkgs trees. Then I tried
Checkout services/ too (to the same dir). Symlink nixos/services ->
../services. I hope nixos/pkgs -> ../nixpkgs/pkgs is already there..
