Direct porting of tested code. It was a job on LiveDVD all the time, I
didn't want to mess with activation code for now, and I want to make
most of LiveDVD pure configuration.nix-level tricks.

generation from blocks). Thanks.

It's not a kind of a problem where another person editing small bits
without global ambitions in that part of code will help to improve the
situation, I think.
