= bootstrap, the NixOS installation medium

My personalized NixOS installation medium.
It is not supposed to be used as a daily system (if you are, you're pretty weird :/).

This is based from how devos link:https://github.com/divnix/digga/blob/760bb9c29063258ba547145de0ab96acd7eba4c0/modules/bootstrap-iso.nix[generates their ISO].
You can also see link:https://nix.dev/tutorials/building-bootable-iso-image[an example from nix.dev].

To make use of this, you can generate an ISO through link:https://github.com/nix-community/nixos-generators[nixos-generators]. footnote:[You can also try this for other hosts as well for MORE BEEFY OFFLINE INSTALLATION MEDIUM!]

[source, shell]
----
nix run github:nix-community/nixos-generators -- --flake .#bootstrap --format iso --out-link result
----

Though, you could also easily build one with `packages.bootstrap-install-iso` from the flake output.

[source, shell]
----
nix build $FLAKE#bootstrap-install-iso
----

With the ISO built, you can now use it for yourself for whatever reason.
