At a certain point in the install script it will open =nano= (or whatever your =$EDITOR= is set to) and ask you to edit the =flake.nix=. You can edit as much or as little of the config variables as you like, and it will continue the install after you exit the editor.
Potential Errors: I've only tested it working on UEFI with the default EFI mount point of =/boot=. I've added experimental legacy (BIOS) boot support, but it does rely on a quick and dirty script to find the grub device. If you are testing it using some weird boot configuration for whatever reason, try modifying =bootMountPath= (UEFI) or =grubDevice= (legacy BIOS) in =flake.nix= before install, or else it will complain about not being able to install the bootloader.

There are many more config options there that you may also want to change as well.

The build will fail if you are booting from BIOS instead of UEFI, unless change some of the system settings of the flake. Change =bootMode= to "bios" and set the =grubDevice= appropriately for your system (i.e. =/dev/vda= or =/dev/sda=).
