### Generating Disk Image without Dependencies:
To generate the disk image without dependencies, execute:
```bash
nix-build -I nixos-config=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix -E '(import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}).config.system.build.diskoNoDeps'
```
This will output a script path in `/nix/store` that will format your disk. Make
