The bootstrap script is intended to be copied to the install system, and run from there. Generally, I just use curl, wget, or even just a browser to grab the script.  I do this in manual steps for new physical systems (e.g. new laptop), and have automated it for VMs, etc.

Yes, that’s right.

Great.  My repo is effectively a version of RichiH’s template tweaked and customized over time to my needs.  So you get to see a baseline with his version and an adapted one with mine.
