Incorporate NixOS configuration TL;DR: - Move /etc/nixos/configuration.nix -> //nixos/configuration.nix - Move /etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix -> //nixos/harware.nix - Document installer.nix - Create rebuild.nix wrapper around `sudo nixos-rebuild switch` Previously I sketched ideas for the configuration.nix for socrates -- also known as flattop -- the inexpensive Acer laptop residing in my flat and stored that configuration.nix file in briefcase. Now, however, I have successfully installed NixOS onto socrates. By default NixOS saves the configuration.nix and hardware-configuration.nix files to /etc/nixos/. I'm moving both of these files into briefcase. Because the command `nixos-rebuild` looks for the NixOS configuration file in /etc/nixos, I wrote rebuild.nix, which creates a program to call `nixos-rebuild` with the new location of my configuration.nix. 2020-02-22 19:44:44 +01:00			`{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {}, ... }:`
