compile kernel in KDE?

[Tony Alfrey]

Hi!

Another kernel compile question.
It seems that one may compile a kernel while still running KDE or some 
other desktop as long as one gets out of the desktop and back to a 
terminal before doing

make modules_install
and moving the new kernel image to /boot

since the old kernel is still loaded and running until rebooting.
Any remarks as to this being a Bad Thing?
