Has anybody ever considered the possibility of a 0-reboot
installation?
It seems that this should be possible with (or without?) kexec.
I think the reason the installer presently reboots is to load the
*real* kernel (which will be used during normal runtime) rather than
the installer kernel.
Rebooting also allows the boot process as a whole to get tested ("Did
the MBR get written correctly?").
Are there other reasons?
