I'd say that it's up to the user to use whatever utilities he wants to partition and populate the card with filesystem(s). And it seems like depending only on having a posix-compliant shell, ar, tar, plus gzip, wget and chroot is a reasonable thing to do and should work without much hassle on any distribution.

I was shocked a bit, too. And I am not sure if we should truly have more than a single fdisk to support but rather go for downloading what is missing. > Unfortunately I'm not sure if we have good alternatives here.

Once multiarch became a reality, install.sh would basically just work from our laptops, right?
