Was using Nix-0.16. With it, I was able to: sudo nix-install-package --non-interactive --url http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1463174/nix/pkg/nix-1.0pre29920-i686-linux.nixpkg which is trunk nix. Or at least was not long ago. It also shows the 56k connection was not so bad: did download perl-5.10.1, gcc-4.5, etc.
Nix trunk seems to be quite similar to Nix-0.16 in term of memory used, or the 'too much' nix-expressions evaluated. CPU would be used at only about 6%, but 'waiting' about 90% according to top. I guess this is caused by trashing due to the big 70% memory used. _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
