Sir,

I am keen of trying the nixos, so downloaded the latest nixos live CD (
http://hydra.nixos.org/job/nixos/trunk/iso_graphical/latest-for/i686-linux/download),
read the instructions in the installation manual.

After partitioning , mounting the partition under /mnt , creating the
configuration.nix  under /mnt/etc/nixos/  , assigning  the root (/) and swap
device mount points , and on issuing "nixos-install" ,

I could see the following message :

I have tried several times.
Have attached my configuration.nix & nixos-install script with the mail.
 Seek your help for installation.

Thank you,
