This page allows you to choose options for starting up your computer.
A bootloader is the program that runs when you power on your computer. The bootloader is responsible for locating Adélie Linux and/or other operating environments on your computer, and then loading them in to memory.
Typically, you should always choose to install a bootloader unless you have a configuration that will use a different method of booting.
This option will install a bootloader to your hard disk, replacing any other bootloader if present.
This option will not install a bootloader to your hard disk. You may be required to configure a bootloader yourself before your computer will start up properly. Choose this option if you already have another operating environment with a bootloader, or if your computer has a bootloader in firmware (such as OPAL or UEFI).
The kernel options disclosure allows you to choose which Linux kernel you want to use on your computer. Only change these options if you have hardware that requires it, or your administrator or hardware manufacturer has told you that you need a special kernel.
This option will install the LTS version of the Linux kernel, which is well supported and thoroughly tested. However, it may not support the newest hardware options.
This option will install the latest version of the Linux kernel, which has not been as thoroughly tested as the stable kernel. Use this option if you have hardware that requires a newer kernel version than LTS.
