With networkmanager we can provide a much more welcoming network setup experience in the installer and it costs us less than 10 MB with this configuration on the minimal ISO. By default, for new profiles it will enable DHCP and RA and allow interactive reconfiguration through `nmtui` or `nmcli`. Especially the TUI interface is very easy to pick up and removes the need for typing in manual commands when setting up the WLAN connection.

Installation Device
Provides a basic configuration for installation devices like CDs.
This enables redistributable firmware, includes the
Clone Config profile
and a copy of the Nixpkgs channel, so nixos-install
works out of the box.
Documentation for Nixpkgs
and NixOS are
forcefully enabled (to override the
Minimal profile preference); the
NixOS manual is shown automatically on TTY 8, udisks is disabled.
Autologin is enabled as nixos user, while passwordless
login as both root and nixos is possible.
Passwordless sudo is enabled too.
NetworkManager is
enabled and can be configured interactively with nmtui.
It is explained how to login, start the ssh server, and if available, how to start the display manager.
Several settings are tweaked so that the installer has a better chance of succeeding under low-memory environments.
