<title>Clone Config</title>
<para>
This profile is used in installer images. It provides an editable
configuration.nix that imports all the modules that were also used when
creating the image in the first place. As a result it allows users to edit
and rebuild the live-system.
</para>
<para>
On images where the installation media also becomes an installation target,
copying over <literal>configuration.nix</literal> should be disabled by
setting <literal>installer.cloneConfig</literal> to <literal>false</literal>.
For example, this is done in <literal>sd-image-aarch64-installer.nix</literal>.
