Ehh.. that's exactly what install.sh tries to do! Only if both of these
do not exist will the bottom part of the code be executed.
The distribution provided scripts want an image to install. I agree
that it is impossible to supply the right image for all systems.
But maybe it is possible to echance this patch for some systems,
providing a different image based on config settings?
