Even then, I imagine it to be difficult. What about installs that cross
filesystem boundaries, etc. Either you'd have to have transactions on
every fs then (and rollback each of them afterwards) or have a
trans-filesystem transaction monitor, AFAIK.
I'm afraid some serious non-trivial magicks are at work here.
