Surely the steps remain the same, even if the kernel etc. are changing? Then it's just a matter of wgetting the appropriate parts before unpacking them etc.

I'd have to say this is for more advanced users-- this isn't something you do if you don't know what you're doing. (Also, you need a computer with linux.)
If NITdroid's not ready for the masses yet, I won't bother investigating the installation wizard (or hell, even a script).

The advantage of a script - even on a Linux computer - is there's less chance of error and it makes support easier as you know how people have installed things. Certainly, if a user isn't paying attention in the steps above - and they use a SCSI or SATA drive - they could end up repartitioning one of their existing disks, rather than the SD card.

Similarly, it could detect the sizes and suggest partioning schemes etc.
