Hello! Recently I've bootstrapped NixOS on to a new ARM platform from an existing Debian install on the same platform. I figured this is useful knowledge so I've written up some documentation which I'm in the process of convert to Docbook. It's kind of a tutorial but expects users to modify commands.
The guide includes how to install Nix, the NixOS installer and finally NixOS on a system such as Debian. It's three sections long and intended for development and porting NixOS to new platforms. I originally wrote it for inclusion in the Wiki but I'm barred from it as I use Tor, so I'm beginning to wonder if there's a place for it in the official documentation around the installation section. The obviously place would be in the installer section but it focuses on using a CD. Any suggestions? I'd really love to make it easier to install NixOS when there isn't already an installer image. Jookia. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
