[Nix-dev] NixOS on Linode

[shea at shealevy.com]

Hi Malcolm,

I have NixOS running on a linode instance using pv-grub. I originally 
created three disk images: One to hold the /boot mountpoint (not 
partitioned, a direct ext2 filesystem was placed on it), one to hold the 
rest of my partitions, and one to hold the livecd. I then copied the 
livecd image to the partition (IIRC just using dd), booted into that, 
and installed my system like normal. Then I deleted the livecd image and 
folded the free space into the "rest of my partitions" image. My NixOS 
configuration can be found here:

Cheers,
Shea
