The “Debian installer main menu” – Part 10
 

Overview

  In this section of the Debian installer main menu you will install the GRUB Boot Loader and make your system bootable. GRUB stands for GRand Unified Bootloader. Its function is to take over from BIOS at boot time, load itself, load the Linux kernel into memory, and then turn over execution to the kernel. Once the kernel takes over, GRUB has done its job and it is no longer needed.

Install The GRUB Boot Loader

  At the Debian installer main menu select Install the GRUB boot loader and click Continue.
