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 DrakX can't determine where to place the boot sector, it will ask you where it should place it. Generally, the First sector of drive (MBR) is the safest place. Choosing Skip won't install a bootloader. Use this option only if you know what you're doing.
