Mandrake 9.1 Auto Installed Bootloader without asking??
Last night, I was attempting to install Mandrake 9.1 and all seemed well, until it got down toward the end of the install. Typically distros ask you how you want to boot...i.e. if you want to install on the MBR (bad idea if you have Windows XP and NTFS, or install on a floppy. I saw an article on the internet on Mandrake 9.1 install, and it seemed to stop and give you this option.
However, when it installed last night, it AUTOMATICALLY chose to install LILO on the MBR on my master drive, which of course, led to a late night (early morning) reinstalling Windows, because Linux programs havent figured out how to work with Windows quite yet.
That aside... was there some option I took earlier in the install that inadvertantly chose this option for me so I couldnt choose a floppy install?
Thanks,
Kork
