  quite simply, if i have a running f9 system, can i configure and
build a new (relocatable, for convenience) kernel and just kexec over
to it?  i've read the online info and it strongly suggests that it's
possible, but i can't believe it's that easy and i'd rather not try it
without someone else's confirmation that they've managed to do it
successfully without blowing up their system.

  thoughts?  guidance?
