b31d4e8079 copy nixpkgs, so it reflects what was built. This code uses a simple "cp -a"
so there is a race condition (nixpkgs being altered after the build). However,
with a bit of care and "policy" this should work ;-)

Also push all packages we want to push at once.

1e607c9221 rewrite nixu scripts to use nix-push. Install the whole NixU environment in
two main steps:

1 - first build everything (nix-push)
2 - install everything on a seperate disk/machine (nix-pull)

3514c5658b * Proper sysvinit boot/halt. At runlevel 2, creates login shells at
virtual consoles 0 and 1.  To shutdown, do `init 0' (`halt' and
  `shutdown' don't work because they call /sbin/init).

e019265ec9 * Scripts to set up and run the absolute minimal pure Nix
environment; that is, an operating system environment in which there
  is (essentially) only a store.

  The script `make-disk.sh' creates an ext2 disk image, creates a Nix
  store in it, and copies the closure of the bash package (from
  nixpkgs) to it.  The script `run.sh' then starts bash in a UML
  virtual machine.

  The contents of the image after creation look like this:

  $ ls -l
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 dev
  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           61 2004-02-14 23:34 init -> /nix/store/e40873ece7a010752ad72b4262b23d28-bash-2.05b/bin/sh
  drwx------    2 root     root        12288 2004-02-14 19:13 lost+found
  drwxr-xr-x    4 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 nix
  drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 proc
  drwxrwxrwt    2 root     root         1024 2004-02-14 19:13 tmp

  The next step is to add all the other stuff that goes into a working
  system (coreutils, etc.).  BTW, if you don't have `ls' you can still
  list directories by doing `echo *' :-)

  Nix itself should also be Nixified so that it can be put into the
  store.
