Thanks. :) You don't need to install another Linux distribution beforehand, you just need to boot another distribution's live-iso to partition disks and download/unpack KISS. This is simpler on my side as I don't have to compile and package a heavy kernel, generate an initramfs, build a squashfs and finally package it into an ISO image. On the user side this enables more flexibility too. You can use a live-iso offering a GUI for "easier" partitioning or an iso in which you _know_ includes the firmware you need for the installation process etc. The download for KISS is only a 45MB~ tarball and the installation is just unpacking it to your newly partitioned disk at `/`! This also allows for the same installation tarball to double as a working chroot in existing systems. In my eyes, this method is simpler all round.
