<title>Testing the Installer</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Building, burning, and booting from an installation CD is rather
|
|
tedious, so here is a quick way to see if the installer works
|
|
properly:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
$ nix-build -A config.system.build.nixos-install
|
|
$ mount -t tmpfs none /mnt
|
|
$ ./result/bin/nixos-install</screen>
|
|
|
|
To start a login shell in the new NixOS installation in
|
|
<filename>/mnt</filename>:
|
|
|
|
<screen>
|
|
$ ./result/bin/nixos-install --chroot
|
|
</screen>
|
|
|
|
</para>
