install without bootloader?

Hello,

I'm running a few Linux OSs on my laptop and would like to try out DSL by installing it on my hard drive. I have a partition spare. I notice that DLS comes with an install choice of Grub or Lilo. I already have a Grub bootloader installed. My question is - can I frugal install DSL with an option not to install either Grub or Lilo? I want to keep my existing Grub bootloader and simply add DSL to it rather than overwrite it with a DSL Grub bootloader.

You can choose lilo and install the bootloader on the root partition where u install DSL itself. [Lilo should prompt as to install in the Root partition or MBR. here u will have to choose root partition ]
This way u can use the exieting GRUB bootloader and boot ur DSL.
