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.

49e8829053 * Use unionfs to provide a real Live CD, i.e., the files on the CD 
appear writable (though all writes go to a tmpfs).  This allows you
  to run Nix operations on the Live CD.  However, we're not quite
  there yet since the CD doesn't have a valid Nix database.  So for
  instance a garbage collect will cause everything to be deleted,
  hanging the system.

2a4417d637 * make-etc / activate-configuration: allow /etc files to be installed 
as regular files instead of symlinks to the store.
* Sudo configuration, enabled through security.sudo.enable (on by
  default).  The contents of the sudoers file is specified in
  security.sudo.configFile.  The default sudoers file allows members
  of the new "wheel" group to run any command.

error.

  get a working login shell on the CD (and the system PATH is broken
  as well).

327cb83cf2 * Make it possible to turn off the generation of fonts.conf. This is 
important for the installation CD, where we don't want a dependency
  on all those fonts.  Of course, it's quite nice that turning off the
  generation of a file automatically removes the dependencies on the
  files referenced by that file.
