Hidden dependency on kpartx under linux #90

If kpartx isn't installed then a non-useful "undefined: not able to write image undefined" error is thrown after the image is written but before the configuration is.

Needs a mention in the installation instructions and a runtime check to see if it's present.

My error did mention kpartx, but only after several minutes of writing the SD card, then errored out. Checking for kpartx prior to writing the SD card would definitely be helpful.

Good idea, I'll be adding this in to the next version.

I got this error on the version 2 pre-release. Maybe this should be added?
