I tend to disagree, I'd like to be able to install HelenOS alongside
another operating system (or two) from within HelenOS, even on a
notebook computer with recovery partitions and such things. I think the
ultimate goal is for HelenOS to *be* the standard OS you use to run
programs on your computer ;)

I already have triple-boot setup on my laptop (Windows/Linux/HelenOS),
why should I have to purchase a separate hard-disk just to use the
installer on real hardware?

So instead of saying the library is implemented this way because it is
aimed at HelenOS, isn't it better to say that the aim was to create a
prototype for your thesis?

Regards,
Martin Sucha
