You could use user mode linux, that would work
It, in relative terms, is a kernel running sub kernels.
Not what I had in mind... but hrm.

What I was thinking is using a basic kernel, and having that majority of what you use 
as modules.
Loading a kernel from a CD, Floppy, TFTP, NFS, etc... doesn't mean anything, as long 
as they're the same from the Installer and the installation.

Pivot root, and you're good to go.

I've installed X, and KDE in a chroot, it ran fine, I could even load moduals.
That is not all that different.
