How to use
==========
Install a Windows image
-----------------------
1. Adjust demo-image.nix accordingly
2. Run:
If in impure mode
```shell
nix-build demo-image.nix
./result
```
Results in a file called c.img
If in pure mode
```shell
nix-build demo-image.nix
ls -la ./result
```
Results in a symlink to the image in the nix store
Impure/pure mode
----------------
Sometimes it can be useful to build the image _outside_ of the Nix sandbox for debugging purposes.
For this purpose we have an attribute called `impureMode` which outputs the shell script used by Nix inside the sandbox to build the image.
