Wrench Bootloaders question
actually i got the concept of boot loaders : it reside in MBR and its function is to load the root file system of os into memory i.e. to load whole os into memory when system starts.

i have got a list of doubts to clear


Quote:
when installing a fresh OS , does installation process install the boot loaders from that OS into MBR and load the entire OS from cd or dvd into Hard drive and at the same time into memory.

Quote:
what dose it mean by usb boot loader : does that means we are installing Os from a usb drive or it require a special boot loader that loads OS from usb into hard drive.
Quote:
Does boot loader also take part in installing fresh OS.

Quote:
is syslinux a boot loader that installs OS from usb drive that is partitioned with window format. Does that means in that process we have two boot loader : syslinux boot loader loads LINUX OS and then the default OS boot loader loads OS into memory every time we do fresh start.
