I don't know, it might.

The last openSUSE install I did, some years ago, I remember it switched
almost seamlessly from running off the installation media to running off
the just-created (minimal) installation, and continued adding packages
from there. There was no perceptible reboot stage at all.

Just to point out this is a common Linux kernel feature, not something
specific to a particular distro.
