18. Installing a Bootloader +

+
+
+
+ + + + + + + +
+ + + + + + + +

A + bootloader is a small program which is started by the computer + at boot time. It's responsible for starting up the whole + system. Normally, the bootloader installation is totally + automated. DrakX will analyze the disk boot sector and act + according to what it finds there: +

+ + +
+
    +
  • + +

    If + a Windows® boot sector is found, it will replace it with a + GRUB/LILO boot sector. This way you will be able to + load either GNU/Linux or any other OS installed on your + machine. +

    + +
    • +
  • + +

    In + any other case it will ask you where it should place the boot + loader. Generally, the First sector of the drive + (MBR) is the safest place. +

    + +
    • +
+
+ + +

Choosing Skip won't install a + bootloader. Use this option only if you know what you're + doing. +
