I am not sure there is much mileage in working on Pine64 installer for the PinePhone - see below. Ironically I suspect an SDcard prepared by Pine64 installer for a Pine64+ will boot just fine in a PinePhone. The downside is Armbian (or whatever is available via the installer) without a keyboard could be problematic

I think read that there will be an ubports installer application with a PinePhone option at some point in the near future.

Yeah, already postmarketOS, Sailfish OS & LuneOS have their own scripts - it may be the preferred way in the future? Or not ....? At the moment (I think) LuneOS and Sailfish OS scripts are linux only. We will need to do lots of playing when we get our phones in our hands and update the wiki as applicable. Which is why I prefer a basic image download and for me in linux to dd the card - the equivalent tools for Windows & IOS are well documented (e.g. on the NOOB page).
