Samir Talwar	9069759767	Instruct the user to follow redirects when installing Nix. ... Nix installation now requires following redirects using `curl -L`. This is currently represented on the [Nix download page][] but not in the manual. This change updates the manual to reflect this. Using `curl` without the `-L` flag results in an empty body, making installation a no-op. [Nix download page]: https://nixos.org/download.html	2020-06-18 10:29:24 +02:00

Sean Seefried	2ef8f0608c	Add to glossary and clarify garbage collection ... While trying to understand garbage collection it was not immediately clear that only the runtime dependency closure of output paths would be kept (instead of the build-time dependency closure). This commit attempts to clarify this by expanding some of the glossary definitions and extending the Garbage Collection section.	2018-04-12 19:23:24 +10:00
