Eelco Dolstra 212d5ceff5 * Don't generate a manifest for the CD anymore, just use the
copy-from-other-stores substituter to copy paths directly from the
  Nix store on the CD.

Eelco Dolstra 728a278641 * Unmount only the filesystems that the installer actually mounted.
So if the user mounted /mnt/boot or something, don't unmount it.

Eelco Dolstra 9fd5d70968 * The CD is now a true live CD: you can run Nix operations in it
thanks to unionfs.  For instance, nix-env and nixos-rebuild work.
  The tricky part was to build a Nix database (in the tmpfs/unionfs)
  which is now necessary to prevent store paths on the CD from being
  deleted right away because they otherwise wouldn't be valid.
  
* nixos-install: use the /etc/nixos/configuration.nix from the target
  file system (don't copy it anymore).  Since the user is supposed to
  mount the target file system on /mnt anyway, we may as well require
  that configuration.nix is placed in /mnt/etc/nixos.  This also makes
  upgrading / reinstalling much easier, since it will automatically
  use the right configuration.nix.
