I notice in their insane lust for uptime ;-) the developers of Linux 
have made it possible to boot the install disk, install a fresh copy, 
and be running it off the disk when you're done, all without even a 
single second boot to start up the newly installed system.

Why you would spend time getting that working, I'm not really sure, but 
I imagine *someone* needed the functionality. Maybe for upgrading a 
system remotely, or virtual machines, or something?

Upgrading the OS without stopping the POV-Ray photon shooting you have had
running for weeks.
