The list is a bit thorough and mixes a few possible scenarios. Basically what you need to do is:
1. Copy the ISO onto a USB drive and boot your laptop on it
2. Run `systemctl start display-manager` to start the GUI
3. Format the harddrive however you like using GParted
3b. EDIT: and mount the root drive to /mnt
4. Run `nixos-generate-config --root /mnt` to detect the hardware layout and generate an initial configuration.nix file
5. Open the /mnt/etc/nixos/configuration.nix file with your editor and edit to your convenience
6. Run `nixos-install`
7. Reboot
- ianai 9y agoThank you, concision makes it easier for me to understand the process.
- soapdog 9y agoI've tried that a couple times on my own HP Proliant Server ML110 Gen9. The installation proceeds perfectly, no error whatsoever but no way I can get it to boot from the HD. I'm finding UEFI quite hard to debug when compared to MBR + GRUB... I find it odd that the pendrive boots fine, the installation happens well but the HD will not boot. I wish there were more tips for debugging UEFIon their guide.
