The last time I checked, CentOS/RH/Fedora don't allow installing a bootloader to a partition. At least I _think_ they don't allow it. I find the installer completely baffling. I've done at least half-dozen installs in the past year or two, and I still find the installer impossible to fathom. Though many things about Ubuntu don't agree with me, at least the installer makes some sort of sense. I link the Gentoo isntaller best of all. -- Grant
