I for one think rebooting after install is a very good thing, as only a
full reboot makes sure the install (including boot loaders) was
completely successful and works fine.
Or IOW: I for one would be really annoyed if I'm doing a "rebootless
install" and after hours of customizing and using it notice after a
reboot that the install doesn't boot due to a broken boot-loader
installation/configuration.
Just my 2 cent.
Thanks for the feedback, those are good points. I would only emphasize
that I'm in no way suggesting replacing the current installers with this
absolutely bleeding edge technology. Even in what I envision as the
long term most positive adoption, as I said, it would merely be an
optional (default off) choice inside, or in addition to the traditional
rebooting method. In the first F12 incarnation, it would be hidden
behind an appropriate number of
warning/danger/experimental/imminent-explosion* messages.
* "eating babies" would be the traditional fedora scare tactic, but that
might offend some number of fedora users who have had their children
eaten by bears.
Thanks,
