2c7d02288f Let us have ddrescue on rescue disks. Like umbrella. Having it reduces chances of its use - and this is very good.

ce250ffb37 * Installation CD: include a lot of modules (SATA, PATA, Firewire,
USB, some SCSI controllers) in the initrd for mounting the CD.
* Add nix-hardware-scan to the system.
* Upstart: don't use the -v flag.
* Include the NixOS version in the ISO image filename.
* Include testdisk and ms-sys in the CD.
* Some bugfixes in the installer.

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.
