<p>ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) is a standard for power

<p>The exact procedure for adding Mageia to an existing bootloader is beyond
the scope of this documentation. However in most cases it will involve
running the relevant bootloader installation program, which should detect
Mageia and automatically add an entry for it in the bootloader menu. See the
documentation for the relevant operating system.

<h4 class="title"><a name="d5e1109"></a>Installing Without a Bootloader
</h4>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>While you can opt to install Mageia without a bootloader (see section 2.1
Advanced), this is not recommended unless you absolutely know what you are
doing, as without some form of bootloader your operating system will be
unable to start.

<p>To do this you need to manually edit /boot/grub2/custom.cfg or use the
software <span class="bold"><strong>grub-customizer</strong></span> tool instead
(available in the Mageia repositories).
