From 55a6b5565beb66122c054a7c5946aa543c1fd955 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alyssa Ross Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 23:22:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] nixos/manual: don't recommend nix-env -iA We're really setting users up on the wrong path if we tell them to nix-env -iA immediately after installing. Instead, let's just reassure them that installing software will be covered in due course in the manual, to encourage them to keep reading. --- nixos/doc/manual/installation/installing.xml | 9 ++------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/nixos/doc/manual/installation/installing.xml b/nixos/doc/manual/installation/installing.xml index 6df1d8303483..bedeb7ccfa8e 100644 --- a/nixos/doc/manual/installation/installing.xml +++ b/nixos/doc/manual/installation/installing.xml @@ -480,13 +480,8 @@ Retype new UNIX password: *** $ passwd eelco - You may also want to install some software.
