  <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>.
