This was an interesting technology which I saw in the Caldera Tech Preview, and
worth adopting if it can be done neatly: if the installed kernel is the same as
the boot kernel (ie, same version, not secure-patched, SMP or the like) then
there is no reboot at the end of installation. The system just keeps on running
with the correct kernel.
I'm sure Mandrake would like, as a feather in their caps, to be able to claim
``zero reboot'' Linux, that is, you start your machine up once for installation
and *never* shut it down.

Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal
colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine.
The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the
copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth.
Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed.
