They will definitely get exposed to Lilo or GRUB (you should cover 
both),  but don't make it all about installation.  Hopefully that is 
something you only have to do a couple of times.  Luckily this is 
something that RedHat has 90-95% done and they don't mess with it a lot. 
  Debian has kind of neglected this area and Mandrake spends way too 
much time redoing the installer.
