8cf1eceb0a * Allow multiple file systems to be mounted in stage 1 (i.e., from the
initrd).  This is useful if /nix (which is necessary for stage 2) is
  on a different file system than /.

923348b490 * Provide a script "nixos-checkout" to replace the NixOS/Nixpkgs
sources in /etc/nixos with a Subversion checkout of those trees.
  This should be run after a successful installation if you want to
  keep NixOS up to date from Subversion.

4f64075215 * Installer: defaults for all arguments. The NixOS sources are
assumed to be in /etc/nixos/nixos and the system configuration in
  /etc/nixos/configuration.nix.  This is overridable through a few
  environment variables.
* Installer: check that the mount point does in fact have a file
  system mounted on it (so that we don't install in an empty /mnt),
  and don't unmount afterwards for symmetry.

4b7e9b5401 * Instructions on testing the installer without having to make an ISO
/ burn a CD, namely by making a loopback target file system.
* Installer: continue if the MANIFEST on the CD is missing (useful if
  we're not actually installing from a CD).

b01ef92437 * Use pam_env to set the PATH for SSH logins. This allows
non-interactive ssh sessions (such as "ssh host command") to work
  properly.  This should probably be used for other kinds of logins as
  well.
