So, as I said, rootstock-touch-install has currently taken 4 hours, and is
frozen at "adding android system to installation ..." May I ask why it is
taking so long?

Steps:

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot boot out/target/product/mako/recovery.img
$ bzr branch lp:project-rootstock-ng
$ cd project-rootstock-ng/
$ ./rootstock-touch-install
'/home/user/Documents/vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz'
'/media/user/Data/6/08/2016/phablet/out/target/product/hammerhead/system.img'
