+# Internet
+If internet broke, try one of the following:
+- nixos-rebuild switch --option substitute false # no downloads
+- nixos-rebuild switch --option binary-caches "" # no downloads
+- wpa_supplicant flags to connect to wifi
+
+# How to install
+
+1. Partition the disk
+   a. Mark NixOS partition as nixroot - use ext4
+   b. Mark additional data partition as data (if applicable)
+   c. Mark swap partition as swap / use swap file
+   d. mark boot partition as nixboot - use fat32 `mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdX1`
+
+
+2. Mount the partitions
+
+```sh
+swapon /dev/disk/by-label swap
+mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixos /mnt
+mkdir -p /mnt/boot
+mount /dev/disk/by-label/nixboot /mnt/boot
+mount /dev/disk/by-label/data /mnt/data
+```
+
+3. Generate
+
+``` sh
+nixos-generate-config --root /mnt
+nix-env -iA nixos.git
+git clone https://github.com/Rutherther/nixos-config /mnt/etc/nixos/config
+cp /mnt/etc/nixos/hardware-configuration.nix /mnt/etc/nixos/nixos-config/hosts/<host>
+```
+
+4. Install
+
+``` sh
+cd /mnt/etc/nixos/config
+nixos-install --flake .#<host>
+```
+
+5. Finalize
+  a. Before reboot
+    Set root and user password
+    ``` sh
+    chroot /mnt
+    passwd root
+    passwd ${user}
+    ```
+
+  b. After reboot
+    Install doom-emacs (as user)
+
+    ``` sh
+    ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom install
+    ~/.emacs.d/bin/doom sync
+    ```
