Ok, I'll show my good fedora developer maturity and call it a 'night' 
now that I'm starting to get sloppy.  That should have been worded-

As with a current LiveOS installation, the installation media kernel is 
the running kernel.  Even if the f11 installer already allows you to 
trigger a chrooted yum update as part of the install, you won't be 
running the updated kernel until after a reboot.

... Same as RebootlessInstaller ... until ksplice ...

Thanks everyone for the vetting so far.  I'm sure by the time I check 
back in, I'll have a lot of catching up to do, but that my installer 
will be all the better in the long run for it.

peace...
