This screen allows you to define what operating systems can be started when your machine is booted. One of the first screens you'll encounter at every reboot is the GRUB bootloader screen. The GRUB program allows you select which operating system you want to use on that boot. This installation screen asks you to select the choices that GRUB will offer. All bootable partitions are listed. Make sure there is a check mark against all the partitions that contain operating systems you'd like to be able to use. You can toggle each partition on or off by clicking in the small box to the left of its name. You will also need to specify where the GRUB program is to be stored. Choosing the Master Boot Record (recommended if you have no existing bootloader installed) will allow GRUB to run directly at boot time. If another bootloader occupies the Master Boot record (e.g. System Commander, or OS/2's Boot Manager), you can install GRUB to your Linux root partition. You will then have to configure the other bootloader to call GRUB.
