Issue description

The graphical ISO and OVA files are about 1.1 GB. This is too big and can probably be made smaller. From nixos-18.09beta521.e4966591ef6-x86_64-linux.ova:

$ du -sch /nix/store/*

I think we should be able to get rid of dependencies on:

  • gcc-7.3.0
  • qt-4.8.7
  • firefox
  • llvm-6.0.1
