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...
