Samuel Dionne-Riel 9da278dc38 doc: Reviews partitioning instructions to use parted.
The tests in <nixos/tests/installer.nix> are using `parted`, so they are
bound to be better tested than `fdisk`.

This is brought on by a couple issues, plus reports on IRC that the
`fdisk` instructions didn't work as expected.

 * #39354
 * #46309
 * #39942
 * #45478

Care was taken so that the other documented steps did not need changes.

In all this kerfufle, a slight re-organization of the Chapter has been
made, allowing better deep linking.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.03 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.03

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
