* Revert "nixos/doc: re-format"Eelco Dolstra2019-09-191-3/+12
| | | | | This reverts commit ea6e8775bd69e4676c623a85c39f1da540d29ad1. The new format is not an improvement.

* nixos/manual: use default bs valueMatthew Bauer2019-01-261-1/+1
| | | | | Apparently this is a little slower but much safer & not prone to potential argument errors.
* nixos/doc: bs=1000000 for dd args (#54280)Matthew Bauer2019-01-181-1/+1
| | | | | | Not all dd implementations take ‘bs=1m’. Better to just list it out fully to reduce potential for problems. Fixes #54181.
* doc: installing-usb: removes notes about unetbootin.Samuel Dionne-Riel2018-10-031-29/+0
| | | | | They are known to cause more issues than solving issues; futhermore using `dd` should work everywhere without fail.
* doc: installing-usb make macOS note a note.Samuel Dionne-Riel2018-10-031-9/+10
| | | | | | | | While it seemingly brings more attention to the macOS notes with the default docbook template, it better represents which parts of the section are about macOS, and which parts are simply in the flow of the text; otherwise the last paragraph may be lost into the details for macOS.

* Update macos USB instructionsVincent Murphy2018-01-061-3/+17
| | | "Ejecting" from the Finder ejects the entire device which is then not available for dd. diskutil unmountDisk does the right thing. Furthermore writing to diskN instead of rdiskN failed to complete even after waiting >10 minutes.

* replace "Mac OS X" and "OS X" with "macOS"davidak2017-08-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | as it is the official name since 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_operating_systems#Desktop exception are parts refering to older versions of macOS like "GUI support for Mac OS X 10.6 - 10.12. Note that Emacs 23 and later [...]"

* nixos manual: recommend use of dd for writing the imageRastus Vernon2016-04-021-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Unetbootin works by altering the image and placing a boot loader on it. For this reason, it cannot work with UEFI and the installation guides for other distributions (incl. Debian and Fedora) recommend against using it. Since dd writes the image verbatim to the drive, and not just the files, it is not necessary to change the label after using it for UEFI installations. vcunat: tiny changes to the PR. Close #14139.
* Installer: Add nomodeset and blacklist the nouveau driverEelco Dolstra2015-07-251-2/+2
| | | | | I observed a hang at the moment the nouveau driver gets loaded on a GTX 970.
