What happened?

Logs attached appropriately.
The install script doesn't account for busybox-based distros, so it's completely broken on Alpine Linux.
When trying to run it, I get this...

❯ ./install.sh install
 -> Using script

 -> Current git mirror: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
 -> Fetching latest kernel tags
cut: unrecognized option: delimiter=/
BusyBox v1.37.0 (2025-12-16 14:19:28 UTC) multi-call binary.

Usage: cut [OPTIONS] [FILE]...

	-b LIST	Output only bytes from LIST

	-O SEP	Field delimeter for output (default = -d for -f, one space for -F)
	-D	Don't sort/collate sections or match -fF lines without delimeter
	-f LIST	Print only these fields (-d is single char)
