From 8d092270d28d82aa5623bcde55a2ee85129ac1f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bob van der Linden Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2014 21:29:04 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] nixos: iso-image: use syslinux bootloader for USB booting support This changes the bootloader for iso generation from Grub to syslinux. In addition this adds USB booting support, so that "dd" can be used to burn the generated ISO to USB thumbdrives instead of needing applications like UnetBootin. --- nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.nix | 13 +- nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.sh | 48 +++++-- .../installer/cd-dvd/installation-cd-base.nix | 3 + nixos/modules/installer/cd-dvd/iso-image.nix | 124 +++++++++--------- 4 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 76 deletions(-) diff --git a/nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.nix b/nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.nix index 5ad546e9534d..b2409c6006bc 100644 --- a/nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.nix +++ b/nixos/lib/make-iso9660-image.nix @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -{ stdenv, perl, cdrkit, pathsFromGraph +{ stdenv, perl, pathsFromGraph, xorriso, syslinux , # The file name of the resulting ISO image. isoName ?
