Hello!
Recently I've bootstrapped NixOS on to a new ARM platform from an
existing Debian install on the same platform. I figured this is useful
knowledge so I've written up some documentation which I'm in the process
of convert to Docbook. It's kind of a tutorial but expects users to
modify commands.
The guide includes how to install Nix, the NixOS installer and finally
NixOS on a system such as Debian. It's three sections long and intended
for development and porting NixOS to new platforms.
I originally wrote it for inclusion in the Wiki but I'm barred from it
as I use Tor, so I'm beginning to wonder if there's a place for it in
the official documentation around the installation section. The
obviously place would be in the installer section but it focuses on
using a CD.
Any suggestions? I'd really love to make it easier to install NixOS when
there isn't already an installer image.
Jookia.
