# Building the `config.system.build.vm' attribute gives you a command

# that starts a KVM/QEMU VM running the NixOS configuration defined in
|

# `config'. The Nix store is shared read-only with the host, which

# makes (re)building VMs very efficient. However, it also means you

# can't reconfigure the guest inside the guest - you need to rebuild

# the VM in the host. On the other hand, the root filesystem is a
|

# read/writable disk image persistent across VM reboots.
