... No.
Nickel is killed at startup with those commands:
Code:
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS NICKEL_HOME WIFI_MODULE LANG WIFI_MODULE_PATH INTERFACE
sync
killall -TERM nickel hindenburg sickel fickel fmon 2>/dev/null
Of course you can launch it via NickelMenu, but after that you can't come back without a reboot
I think it'd be possible to start it standalone in the init/rcS script (which starts Nickel at boot), but I think that that's not most users would want. Therefore, the KoboRoot.tgz would come bundled with NickelMenu.
Also, editing the rcS init script can lead to dangerous consequences; might brick the Kobo if failing to start X (hopefully SSH access would be available) and thus requiring a factory hard reset by booting on the recoveryfs partition.
