- mkfs.fat needs `-n` to set a partition label, not `-L`. - create /mnt/boot before mounting - leave out detailed LVM example as advanced users already how to create LVs while it is detracting for novices. Re #38674
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.
