-NixOS installer (flake + Lix)
-=============================
+Nanuqsaurus NixOS installer
+===========================
 
-1) Build is prewired with Lix; the installer ISO includes the repo at /etc/nixos.
-2) Run the non-interactive Btrfs installer (set envs as needed):
+Run the non-interactive installer:
 
-   sudo DISK=/dev/vda HOSTNAME=installer /etc/nixos/scripts/install-btrfs.sh
+  sudo /etc/nixos/scripts/install-btrfs.sh
 
-   Defaults: DISK=/dev/vda, HOSTNAME=installer
-   The script wipes the disk, creates Btrfs subvolumes (root, home, nix), copies the flake, generates hardware config, and installs with the chosen host name.
 
-3) After install finishes, reboot into the new system.
+Optionally set DISK and HOSTNAME
 
-Notes
-- Filesystem is Btrfs with subvolumes: root, home, nix.
-- The flake lives under /etc/nixos on the target; edit hosts/<hostname>.nix to customize.
+  sudo DISK=/dev/vda HOSTNAME=nanuqsaurus /etc/nixos/scripts/install-btrfs.sh
+
+
+The script wipes the whole disk, creates Btrfs subvolumes (root, home, nix), copies the flake, generates hardware config, and installs.
+
+
+If you need a more custom setup please run the partitioning manually, mount the target to /mnt and then install the system:
+
+  nixos-install --root /mnt --flake "/mnt/etc/nixos#${HOSTNAME}" --no-root-passwd
+
+
+After install finishes, reboot into the new system.
