13ee735395 Making nixos work well with the new names 'linuxPackages' in stdenv-updates, additionally
to the nixpkgs trunk 'kernelPackages'.
Seeing a strange kernelPackages mentioned in installation-cd-rescue (2.6.31_something) I
update that to 2.6.32.

fdc63c54e4 enhance phpIni documentation
readd r19267 (the issue should be fixed now)

Eelco Dolstra and Nicolas Pierron both kept asking me to pay attention
to the rendered manual. There is one catch: example settings such as
pkgs.kernelPackages_2_6_25 are correct however they don't render
properly. Moreover you don't want those examples to be evaluated (maybe
compiling a kernel ?) when building the manual only.
So use Strings and add a copy & paste note.
This is still a hacky. Maybe a kind of typed "verbatim" expression
should be added (?)

9889d9f9f8 * Remove most default kernel options since they have no effect. Also,
don't put them in a default, so that they can easily be added to.

eea026d321 Enabling back the i8042 module loading at initrd. Otherwise, some
may not get any keyboard driver loaded (as I experienced).

6c9059e717 * Added an option `boot.initrd.availableKernelModules' that specifies
modules that should be added to the initrd, but should only be
  loaded on demand (e.g. by the kernel or by udev).  This is
  especially useful in the installation CD, where we now only load the
  modules needed by the hardware.
* Enable automatic modprobing by udev in the initrd.

a612fd0d5e * Obsoleted boot.initrd.extraKernelModules (use
boot.initrd.kernelModules instead).

d6108919b1 * The loopback device is in a module now. Since it's not
automatically loaded by the kernel, load it at boot time.
* Put the ext2 module (which used to be built in) in the initrd to
  prevent unexpected breakage.

and the blacklisting of modules.

a07e90d6f3 Update the documentation:
* Change the module syntax of the example to follow Eelco's suggestions.

* Add a section "Building your own NixOS CD", which explain how to replace
configuration.nix by the configuration file of a live CD/DVD.

* Fix "Testing the installer" and "Testing the initrd" to fit the location
of derivations.
