nixos-install: 'nix build' -> nix-build
'nix build' is an experimental command so we shouldn't use it
yet. (nixos-rebuild also uses 'nix', but only when using flakes, which
are themselves an experimental feature.)

To build the manual, you need Nix installed on your system (no need
for NixOS). To install Nix, follow the instructions at

    https://nixos.org/nix/download.html

When you have Nix on your system, in the root directory of the project
(i.e., `nixpkgs`), run:

    nix-build nixos/release.nix -A manual.x86_64-linux

When this command successfully finishes, it will tell you where the
manual got generated.
