FYI, a 0.1.3 release is now available which fixed/workedaround a problem with pre-first-reboot hibernation. Likewise I put up a proposed feature page, and started a related thread over on fedora-devel.

There are even links to a pair of youtube videos demonstrating the user experience of rebootless installation with a stock f11-i686 liveusb onto an acer aspire one netbook.

Future announcements will be made on website's news/front page, so I won't spam here.

A new GPLv3 - F11 compatible - _rebootless_ LiveOS installer is ready for alpha testers.

Read all about it here, with full screenshot tour, src and binary rpms, online browsable source tree, and beginnings of a FAQ.

All you should need to test out, is a system whose disk data you don't care about, a stock f11 i686 livecd or liveusb, and an internet connection. Boot up, fire up firefox, go to that url, install by clicking the rpm link, and run the new desktop icon/launcher. If all goes well, you should be able to eject the livecd or remove the liveusb without powering down, and go about your business. Not to mention you could have been going about your business while the install was happening, and every change made to the filesystem even as you are installing, gets live migrated to the target disk partitions.

Comments, feedback, bugs, and review will be greatly appreciated.

peace...
