The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are bound to be better tested than `fdisk`. This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the `fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected. * #39354 * #46309 * #39942 * #45478 Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes. In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been made, allowing better deep linking. |

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.
