What's wrong with that? You have to reboot anyways.

Well, years ago I heard that Caldera's Linux was able to switch to the
installed system without reboot. SUSE also, if I recall correctly. Not
an option though -- the user can choose kernel (xen v. non-xen at least)
at install time and, well, reboot is a way to verify if boot loader was
installed correctly.
