After Mandrakelinux copies the necessary files from your CDs, it will lead you through a few additional screens. The most important of these lets you specify the installation location of the bootloader, the software that lets you choose which OS to load each time you boot. We got the best results by choosing the default setting with Mandrakelinux, "First sector or drive (MBR)."
When you get to the Mandrakelinux configuration summary screen, you can choose among three bootloaders: LILO graphical (the default), LILO text, and GRUB. Opinions and favourites vary among Linux enthusiasts, but the LILO graphical bootloader worked well in our tests.
Before leaving the configuration summary screen, try to configure any component marked with red text, especially your graphics card. Finish the installation and reboot as instructed.
